Horschel Defeats McIlroy at BMW PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy faced another heartbreaking loss at the BMW PGA Championship, losing to Billy Horschel in a playoff after Horschel sank a decisive eagle putt on the second playoff hole. This marks the second consecutive week McIlroy has finished as runner-up, having also narrowly missed out on victory at the Irish Open. Despite these setbacks, McIlroy remains optimistic about his performance and future prospects, highlighting his consistent play and the importance of continuing to give himself chances. Horschel, who sympathized with McIlroy, acknowledged the narrow margins in golf and the luck involved in his victory. McIlroy's season has been characterized by close finishes, including a runner-up spot at the US Open, but he remains determined as he prepares for upcoming tournaments.
