Rory McIlroy played his first 36 holes of the week at the 2018 BMW PGA Championship in 12 under. Then he played the final 36 in 3 under and lost the tournament by a pair to Francesco Molinari (who trailed by five at the halfway point). McIlroy, who finished at 15 under overall, shot a 2-under 70 on Sunday, which wasn't nearly enough to catch Molniari, who shot a 4-under 68 and finished at 17 under overall.

That pair started the day tied, but an even-par 35 on the front nine had McIlroy in a hole, and he had to press coming home. A bogey at No. 10 pushed him even further down the leaderboard, and even though he responded nicely with birdies at the back-nine par 5s -- Nos. 12, 17 and 18 -- it wasn't enough when the day was done.
