Golf is a game of millimeters.
Rory McIlroy closed the BMW PGA Championship by shooting a 67, but he needed an eagle on the final hole to get to 17 under and force a playoff with good friend Shane Lowry.
On Wentworth's par-5 18th, the Northern Irishman reached the green in two and faced a 25-footer to send the tournament to extra holes. However, in an agonizing turn of events, McIlroy's putt narrowly missed the cup. He would finish T-2 with Jon Rahm.
"The course was very scorable all this week, especially today," McIlroy said after the final round.
