Rory Mcilroy came back to the highest point of the world rankings in the wake of winning the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio by two strokes from Sergio Garcia. 

The Northern Irishman trailed the Spaniard by three shots at the begin of the last day in Akron yet mauled back the shortage inside four openings. 

The Open champion marked for a four-under 66 to complete on 15 under, while Garcia shut with a crude 71. 

Tiger Woods was compelled to stop halfway through the round with a back harm. 

Mcilroy's first WGC title will see him surpass Australian Adam Scott at the highest point of the world rankings, recapturing the position he keep going held in March 2013. 

The 25-year-old was tremendously great at Hoylake a month ago and was quick to show there would be no aftereffect when he touched base in Ohio this week. 

"I'm truly pleased with catching up the Open with an execution like this. I needed to continue going and continue performing until the end of the season," Mcilroy said. 

"It's extraordinary to go to one of my most loved competitions of the year and to perform like this, I am really fulfilled." 

Mcilroy opened with three straight birdies to take an one-shot lead. He never trailed whatever remains of the way and led the pack for good with an eight-foot birdie on the eleventh opening. 

Tiger Woods 

Woods was compelled to withdraw with a back damage and is currently an uncertainty for the US PGA and Ryder Cup 

Garcia's last adjust return of two flounders against one birdie was somehow short of his adventures on the second day. 

Garcia played the back nine in only 27 shots in his record-equalling second adjust of 61, and hit an aggregate of 16 birdies over his initial three rounds. 

Anyway his disappointment further bolstering press his good fortune home on Sunday implies the 34-year-old has now won only three times on the 16 events he has held the 54-gap lead. 

Woods withdrew after eight openings with back ache maintained hopping into a fortification as he played a shot on the second opening, in what was just his third occasion since coming back from back surgery.
