World number one Rory McIlroy has said that he wanted to hit just "a solid round" to clinch victory in the Wells Fargo Championship.

The Northern Irishman set a new course record with a fine round of 61 on day three, and held off Patrick Rodgers to win by seven shots 24 hours later.

He told reporters: "I feel like as the best player in the world, I want to go at it every week and, not so much prove it, but just show that.

"The way I played yesterday really set me up to go out there today. I was in control of the golf tournament and I just needed to shoot a solid round and that was going to get me over the line."

McIlroy also became the first man to pass 20-under-par in tournament history on his way to the win.
