Rory McIlroy suffers yet more heartbreak after he missed out in a play-off to American Billy Horschel for the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

A magnificent eagle on the 17th for the Northern Irishman forced a three-way play-off alongside Horschel and Thriston Lawrence.

However, after Lawrence was eliminated after the first hole, Horschel holed a magnificent long-range putt to condemn McIlroy to a second, second-placed finish in a week.

Tom McKibbin carded a round of 66 to finish on 13-under par.
