Rory McIlroy finished the Truist Championship with a late flourish, carding a final round of 67, four under-par at Quail Hollow.
That left him some 10 shots behind winner Kristoffer Reitan of Norway, who carded a 69 to clinch his maiden PGA Tour win by two shots from Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard and American Rickie Fowler.
McIlroy, playing in his first tournament since winning a second Masters title last month, slipped out of contention with a disastrous third round on Saturday .
He had begun his third round just four shots behind the overnight leaders and started with a birdie as he sought a fifth win in the event.
However, a run of four consecutive bogeys and six in his third round ultimately put paid to his hopes.
He fared much better on Sunday, carding six birdies and just two bogeys to give him something to build on ahead of this week’s second major – the US PGA Championship at Aronimink, Philadelphia.
Alex Fitzpatrick started Sunday with a one-shot lead over Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan, but surrendered the lead after playing his first two holes three over-par.
The Sheffield native, older brother of Ryder Cup star Matt, got himself back in the hunt before a double bogey at the penultimate hole saw him slip back down the leaderboard to eventually finish fourth.
Fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood finished in a share of fifth place on 11 under after a 69.
Reitan also landed the first prize of $3.6 million while McIlroy, following his T19 finish, collected $242,100 for his week’s work.
