Dustin Johnson arrived in Mexico trying to figure out what was wrong with his swing, but left Sunday night with his 20th career PGA Tour victory and sixth World Golf Championship win.

Over 72 holes, only two were worse than par. No one got closer than two shots to him all weekend.

The 34-year-old finished at 21-under 263, the lowest score by five shots in the three years at Chapultepec, closing with a 5-under 66 for a five-shot victory over Rory McIlroy.

"This is a big one for me, and it gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the year," Johnson said.

The American became the 38th player in PGA Tour history with 20 victories, which makes him a lifetime member when he puts in 15 years.

He won the Saudi International earlier this month and he will return to No.1 in the world next week.

McIlroy did all he could, making six birdies in a seven-hole stretch on the back nine, and closed with a 67.

"I was making birdies and going nowhere," McIlroy said.

"He just played great this week. Hats off to him. He's arguably the best player in the world. And he's got two wins already this year, and he has been one of the best players for a long time."

Johnson finished 10 strokes clear of third-placed Englishmen Paul Casey (65), Ian Poulter (68), and Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat (68).

Australian Cameron Smith made three birdies on his back nine to scratch his way to a one-under-par 70 and a share of sixth place at 10 under, along with Sergio Garcia and Patrick Cantlay, who also both carded rounds of 70.

Tiger Woods got his first top 10 of the year with a final round 69 leaving him 13 shots behind Johnson.

Johnson won the Mexico Championship in 2017 when he was playing the best golf of his life, with three straight victories against the strongest fields, only to suffer a back injury when he slipped down the stairs in his rental house on the eve of the Masters.

"It's the closest I've felt to that since I got hurt two years ago," Johnson said.

"I finally feel like everything is getting very close to where I was then. If I know I'm hitting it well and driving it good, it's going to give me a lot of confidence."

Much has been written on the qualities of the West Course but put simply it’s a combination of great design and construction. It is full of dramatic undulation, fertile sandy soil and a natural rugged appearance.

West Course highlights include bold bunkering while the rough areas around the tees and bunkers are a mix of native grasses which naturally frame each hole, providing great definition and contrast. The greens are brilliant and for decades have consistently provided the finest putting surfaces in Australia. They are large and beautifully contoured they are built to accommodate approaches from a number of angles with each progressively more difficult the further the tee shot strays from the perfect line.

Lee edged by Korda for maiden LPGA title

Nelly Korda's final round 68 was enough to secure the daughter of former Australian Open tennis champion Petr Korda her first LPGA title in Taiwan.

A sizzling final-round 66 wasn't quite enough for Minjee Lee to claim her second LPGA tournament win of the year, the Australian finishing two shots shy of Nelly Korda at the Swinging Skirts Taiwan Championship on Sunday.

American Korda shot a flawless four-under-par 68 in the final round to win her maiden LPGA title. She is the younger sister of Jessica Korda, who has won five titles on the tour

The 20-year-old daughter of former Australian Open tennis champion Petr Korda shared the overnight lead with local hope Wei-Ling Hsu but two birdies and an eagle were enough to win her the title on 13-under 275 for the tournament.

Lee was in fine touch as she reeled off six birdies in her bogey-free round of 66 including back-to-back efforts on 17 and 18.

The world No.5 finished at 11-under at the Ta Shee Golf and Country Club and enjoyed the day's best round.

She was left to regret her one-over start on Thursday which left her five shots off the early pace of England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff who ultimately faded to finish in a share of 12th at three-under.

American Ryann O'Toole was third at ten-under.

World No.9 Shanshan Feng and compatriot rookie Yu Liu withdrew before the tournament after being told they should not play by someone "high up" in China, sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.
