McIlroy smashes record to win US PGA Tour title

Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy smashed the course record on his way to a stunning four-stroke victory at the Quail Hollow Championship Sunday.
He carded a bogey-free 10-under-par 62 to clinch his maiden victory on the US PGA Tour in brilliant fashion.
McIlroy, who turns 21 Tuesday, became the youngest winner on the US tour since Tiger Woods, who was 20 years, nine months and six days when he won the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational.
McIlroy started the final round four strokes from the lead, but eight birdies and an eagle got the job done as he finished at 15-under 273.
American Phil Mickelson (68) birdied the last for second place on 11-under, with Argentina's Angel Cabrera (68) another shot back in third.
McIlroy's 62 comes hot on the heels of the 58 that 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa shot to win the Japan Tour's Crowns tournament overnight.
Quiros wins in Spain
Spain's Alvaro Quiros claimed his fourth European Tour victory when he defeated Britain's James Morrison in a sudden-death playoff for the Spanish Open title Sunday.
Both players had finished a stroke ahead of the Real Club field on 11-under-par 277, Quiros carding a closing two-under 70 and Morrison coming from six strokes behind the third-round lead with a 67. A safe par on the first extra hole, the 18th again, earned Quiros the first prize of $440,000 dollars after Morrison found water with his approach to double-bogey.
The pair had finished a shot ahead of the overnight leader, Britain's Mark Foster, and Alejandro Canizares of Spain and Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin.
Foster led by three strokes overnight and was still ahead by two at the turn but the Englishman's putter betrayed him over the closing holes.
Quiros's win was reward and justification for supporting his home championship instead of warming up at Quail Hollow for next week's Players Championship in the United States.
Miyazato seizes 2-shot lead
In Mexico, Japan's Ai Miyazato was poised to claim a third LPGA victory of the season after taking a one-shot lead Saturday after three rounds of the Tres Marias Championship.
Miyazato posted a two-under par 71 for a 13-under total of 206.
She was one in front of big-hitting Americans Michelle Wie and Brittany Lincicome. Overnight leader Wie carded a 73 in the windy conditions while Lincicome had a 72 for 207.
Na Yeon Choi (71) and Stacy Lewis (69) shared fourth on 208, while world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa was three shots back on 209 after a third-round 70 in her farewell event.
According to the LPGA's unofficial calculations, Ochoa needs to finish at least fourth to be assured of holding the world number one ranking for one more week.
Ishikawa shoots 58
Ryo Ishikawa shot a 12-under 58 – the lowest score ever on a major tour - to win The Crowns Sunday for his seventh Japan Tour title.
The 18-year-old Ishikawa, six shots behind leader Shigeki Maruyama at the start of the round, had 12 birdies in his bogey-free round at the 6,545
