One shot victory at Wells Fargo.

Rory McIlroy says he hopes his first tournament win since November 2019 will act as a "springboard" for upcoming majors.

He claimed the Wells Fargo Championship for the third time with a one shot victory.

Fell in love with Quail Hollow the first time I played it and knew it was special. From my first win in 2010 to today, each year the fans, staff, city of Charlotte make the week an unforgettable experience. The fans carried me through today. Thank you for the continued support. pic.twitter.com/PZlk1ou5bB
