McIlroy birdies last hole to win Scottish Open
Rory McIlroy sank a birdie on the last hole to seal a dramatic victory in the Scottish Open on Sunday for his first tournament win in Scotland. The four-time major winner had seen his one-shot overnight lead evaporate on a windy day at the Renaissance Club. But having missed from eight feet for birdie on the par-five 16th, the Northern Irishman made no such mistake from closer range on the par-three 17th to join Scotland's Robert MacIntyre on 14 under. McIlroy then played a stunning approach shot on the 18th before a successful 10-foot putt snatched victory from MacIntyre. (AFP)
