Rory McIlroy proved his relentless excellence at Wentworth despite finishing runner-up for a second successive week, writes Iain Carter.
Rory McIlroy must wonder what it takes to win a golf tournament, which is a perplexing question for someone who has celebrated 40 victories in a glittering professional career.
There are misses and there are misses. Some are worse than others and the fact that McIlroy so consistently puts himself in contention is a hallmark of his relentless excellence. Suddenly McIlroy could win with a birdie at the last and was standing in the middle of the closing fairway. It was a long approach, the tournament was on the line, thousands upon thousands were watching - a genuine grandstand finish.
The better man on the day won and once again it took inspired brilliance to deny McIlroy, just as it had with Hojgaard seven days earlier and from Bryson DeChambeau at Pinehurst in the US Open in June. The current world number three is a class above almost everyone on the European tour. He is destined to win a sixth Race to Dubai title in November.
