Rory McIlroy's first green jacket will have to wait.

McIlroy carded a three-under 69 in Sunday's final round at the 2017 Masters Tournament, sending him into the clubhouse in a tie for seventh place and five strokes off the lead. He was tied for second among players who have finished their final round at the time of this writing.

Sitting at even going into the final 18 holes, McIlroy was always facing an uphill battle. The leaders began their day at six under, and the beautiful weather in Augusta made for solid scoring conditions.
