McIlroy regrets 'playing smart' with lead at Doral

ORLANDO, Fla. – A third-place finish in a WGC event is typically a positive result, a performance upon which a player to build. But for Rory McIlroy, his finish at Trump National Doral still has him shaking his head two weeks later.

McIlroy began the final round in Miami with a three-shot lead, but he struggled with windy conditions and ultimately ended up two shots behind winner Adam Scott. As he returns to action this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, McIlroy admitted the disappointment from his most recent competitive round still lingers.
