Rory McIlroy faced disappointment again after losing in the playoff at the BMW PGA Championship. His opponent was the impressive Billy Horschel, who had previously won this tournament three years ago. McIlroy lost on the second playoff hole at Wentworth.

After missing out on victories at the US Open and the Irish Open, Rory experienced a similar fate here.

Rory said that if someone had told him he would shoot 20 under par at Wentworth, he would have gladly accepted it. He emphasized that all he can do is keep showing up and playing his game, believing that eventually, it will lead to a win.
