Rory McIlroy's 15-month PGA Tour win drought won't end at the Barclays.

The world No. 5 shot a two-over 73 in Sunday's fourth round, putting him at even par overall for the tournament and into the clubhouse in 32nd place.

Despite putting himself in an occasional position to go low, McIlroy never contended at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. He shot even-par rounds of 71 in the first and third rounds, sandwiching in a promising second-round 69 that he never quite built on. Entering his late-morning round seven strokes behind leader Rickie Fowler, McIlroy knew he needed to go low to make a dent on the leaderboard.



His round never got off the ground.

McIlroy began his scoring with a bogey on No. 2, rolling a four-foot par putt more than three feet past the hole. Four of the next five holes saw him miss birdie putts—all coming within a foot of the hole—before he splashed a tee shot into the bunker on the par-three eighth and two-putted to go to two over. 

The Northern Irishman finally got a birdie putt to drop from a little outside 10 feet on No. 9 and seemed to be turning his round around. He added another birdie on the par-four 10th and then sank a 17-foot bird on the par-five 13th. After playing some of his worst front-nine golf of the week on his first nine holes, it seemed like McIlroy might sneak his way back into top-10 contention.



Again, things were not as they appeared.

McIlroy parred the 14th and 15th before things went off the rails at No. 16. A 313-yard fairway drive set things up well before McIlroy had an adventure near the green. His approach went into the greenside bunker about 45 feet away from the hole, and his pitch out managed to just make it into the rough. Left with a difficult chip for par, McIlroy mishit again and left himself 31 feet away for par. He hit that putt about five feet long and ran his bogey ...
