Having started at five-under par, four back on 54-hole co-leaders Kisner, Schauffele and Jordan Spieth, McIlroy quickly dropped the pace with bogeys in the second and fifth, both by ovens, but rallied around the round to recover those dropped shots with birdies in the ninth and 11th.

Yet it was as good as it was the case for McIlroy, who could not keep up the pace while Molinari opened the scoring after opening with 13 consecutive point pairs. birdie on 14 to go to seven cents, McIlroy could only go home during the difficult closing sequence.
He needed at least three to the fourth to put pressure on Molinari "It was nice just to be part of it and hear the roars," McIlroy said, "Tiger is back in the mix, you know everything, there are a lot of big names out there." Well for one moment, I thought Tiger was going to win.My mind was "go to spoil the party" here
" It was cool, it was really cool. I have no regrets. I played as I wanted to play this week. This gives me a lot of encouragement for the last big final of the year. "
McIlroy added," I played well. I could have pressed one more today. When I made the eagle on the 14th, it was difficult to get closer to 15, 16 and 17. The only real chance was the last one. I got out of the corner, but I let myself do a putt where it was possible to do it.
"But, I think everything under par today was a good score. I am happy with the way I played. I did not start very well, but I hung there, and I fought back. Just a kind of lack of holes.
"When the eagle putt came into the 14th, I felt, if I could get one or two of those last four holes, but it was just hard. put pins and with the winds, it was difficult to approach them and make birdies, and as I said, the only real luck was the last.And even if I had had this putt, I would have missed a short. "
McIlroy said that he would draw positive points from his week in Scotland, adding," I do not really feel like it's going to happen. 39, is a defeat .I have the impression that it's a good week.One guy out of 156 will win, 155 other guys will leave a little disappointed.
"But, yeah, I am committed to everything. I hit the shots when I needed it. I made good changes on the 17th and 18th. I just ran out of holes.
"I hung out there, did what I needed to do, I had some clutch putts along the way.
"I will come back on this week and I will be very encouraged by what I have done, and by the golf that I have played, and I have the impression that it will resist me. good place for what will happen. "
