Rory McIlroy's season of near misses continued at the BMW PGA Championship as he was defeated by Billy Horschel in a play-off. McIlroy led for much of the tournament but ultimately finished second, adding to his string of close defeats this year.
Rory McIlroy's season of near misses continued on Sunday as he lost out to Billy Horschel after a play-off at the BMW PGA Championship.
Horschel kept his nerve and dropped a monster point to seal victory. The 2021 champion also walked away with a cheque for $1.5m. “Last week was a tough one but I left there with my head held high with the way I played the last hole trying to make three,” McIlroy said after a closing 67. “It could have been a different year but the nice thing is there’s next year and the year after and the year after and the year after. If you think of my career as a 30-career journey, it’s only one year in a 30-year journey, and hopefully the other 29 are a little more productive or a little bit better.”
