Rory McIlroy roars past Rickie Fowler, holds off Collin Morikawa and wins CJ Cup

Rory McIlroy roared past Rickie Fowler and held off Collin Morikawa to win the CJ Cup on Sunday at The Summit Club in Las Vegas. Here's how it all unfolded:

Leaderboard: McIlroy (-25), Morikawa (-24), Fowler (-22), Keith Mitchell (-22), Talor Gooch (-21), Adam Scott (-21), Sam Burns (-21), Aaron Wise (-21)

How it happened: Looking to break out of a prolonged slump in a big way, Fowler began the day with a two-shot cushion over McIlroy, who was coming off a third-round, 10-under 62, his best round on the PGA Tour in more than two years.
