Rory McIlroy endured another final round to forget at The Memorial on Sunday night in Ohio.
The Holywood man came into the last round in a tie for the lead but carded a disappointing round of three over to slip four shots off the top.
He held the solo lead at one stage but hit SEVEN bogeys in his round to blow any chance he had of success.

On his way off the 18th green, a bitterly disappointed McIlroy was greeted by tournament host Jack Nicklaus.
"Not your day out there, I'm sorry," said the 18-time major winner. "We need to sit down and talk some time."
Nicklaus is a huge fan of McIlroy and appears keen to give him some advice as he strives to regain his best form.
The winner at the Memorial, Viktor Hovland, banked a massive $3.6million after a thrilling play-off success late on Sunday night.
The prize fund for this week's tournament has been increased by $8 million and now stands at $20 million. This is because the tournament at Muirfield village has been classified as one of the PGA Tour's 'designated events.'
This is a bigger winning purse than either John Rahm or Brooks Koepka received for winning the first two majors of the year.
A second-placed finish earns $2.18 million, while a top-three finish would guarantee the four-time major winner a staggering $1.38 million.
$980,000 is the prize for the player that finishes in fourth, while a fifth placed finish nets $820,000.
After a poor round, McIlroy finished in a tie for seventh place.
