Rory McIlroy admitted that he let victory slip through his fingers after a final-round 74 cost him dearly at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Florida.
McIlroy began his fourth round with a three-shot lead, but managed just one birdie in his closing 18 holes at Doral to finish in a tie for third with Englishman Danny Willett.
His inability to hold onto the lead was made all the more galling by the victorious Adam Scott's own struggles on Sunday.
Scott found the water twice in his final round as he rode his luck to secure a second successive victory and boost his confidence ahead of next month's Masters.
