Rory McIlroy gets another top-5 finish, but not winning is 'frustrating'

MEXICO CITY – Rory McIlroy started the final round at the WGC-Mexico Championship four strokes back, and he finished his week at Chapultepec Golf Club in the same spot.

McIlroy, who led by two strokes after a first-round 65, struggled on Chapultepec’s greens and finished fifth for his second consecutive top-5 finish. Not that his consistency was much solace for the Northern Irishman.

“Frustrating. I don't feel like I got the best out of myself,” McIlroy said following a final-round 68. “Obviously started the week well, and then I hit some loose shots, and I didn't putt as well as I needed to over the last three days.
