WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play - The debrief

Sam Burns got hot to take the title, Rory McIlroy hit the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex after another impressive week and the magic of head-to-head golf was everywhere at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Here is everything you need to know from the week at Austin Country Club.

Burns romps to match play glory

Sam Burns secured the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play title in style, storming to a 6&5 victory over Cameron Young in the final having ended World Number One Scottie Scheffler's title defence earlier in the day. The 26-year-old American found himself behind early on against Young but responded brilliantly, winning four holes in a row from the fifth to turn the match on its head. He kept his foot on the gas after the turn, with wins at the tenth and 12th stretching his lead to five. And the contest ended at the 13th as Burns' eighth birdie of the match wrapped up a convincing win. "It means a lot," he said. "I've been in a play-off in a WGC before and I ultimately did not get it done. So to have the opportunity today - very honoured to have that opportunity to compete against Cam, who is one of the best players in the world. I'm very pleased."

McIlroy back on top

McIlroy's dramatic defeat in the semi-finals to Young may have prevented him lifting the trophy for a second time but his third-place finish after beating Scheffler in the Consolation Match did move him back to the top of Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex. The Northern Irishman came out of the Group Stage with a perfect record and then defeated Lucas Herbert and Xander Schauffele in knockout action before a Young birdie on the first extra hole ended his chances in the last four. There was still plenty to play for, however, and he took down Scheffler 2&1 as he made it ten top-fives in his last 12 DP World Tour starts heading to the Masters Tournament. "Overall it's been a really good week and something to really build on going into Augusta," he said. "I'll try to rest and recover a little bit over the next couple of days. All eyes on Augusta and just making sure the game's ready. But everything feels in really good order. I'll just work on some things that I know that I'll need for that week and just make sure I'm ready and rested."

Driving greens for fun

When Ryan Fox did this on day one at the 13th, we were not expecting to see a better drive all week.

Then McIlroy did this at the 18th on day two.

Rocks star for Rory

It helps to be one of the best in the world but sometimes you need a bit of luck as well. Just moments before hitting that drive, McIlroy did this.

From the ridiculous to the sublime.

Speaking of luck.......

Adam Scott was having none on the 11th on day one.

But on the same hole two days later, Young did this.

Those golfing Gods just don't know when to stop.

Kuchar catches Tiger

Matt Kuchar equalled Tiger Woods' record of 36 wins at this event with a convincing 7&6 victory over Si Woo Kim on Friday. He was happy to be mentioned in the same sentence as Woods, saying: "Certainly getting a chance to tie any record of Tiger's is an amazing thing. That's something I still find hard to comprehend that I'm saying, that I tied one of his records. So I'm hugely proud, pleased. There's 300 more records, I'm sure, to go, but it's a fun one to be able to say you've kind of got something you tied Tiger with." He could not break the record, though, losing 1UP to Jason Day on Saturday morning.

Horschel's stylish pick-up

Billy Horschel showed us a new way of picking up a golf ball, and it's much cooler than how most people do it...
