Sitting at 8 under to start the day, McIlroy needed a low round Saturday to have any chance of winning. But, another big number killed his chances.
On the short par-4 second, McIlroy pulled a driver into the tree that sits just 60 yards from the tee box. After an adventure in the fescue, he walked off the green with a double bogey.
On Friday, a quadruple bogey sent him plummeting down the leaderboard after he grabbed the lead at 13 under.
He seems to be running on fumes after a tiresome several-week stretch. Two late bogeys pushed him all the way back down to 6 under for the tournament.
