It was deja vu all over again for Rory McIlroy when a bad shot ended his chance of a major win in a golf tournament.

This week McIlroy stood on the 18th at the Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur needing a birdie on the par 5 to get into a playoff.

However, history repeated itself as he drove his second shot too far to the right and was unable to beat par.

Depsite the second setback the Northern Ireland phenom remained upbeat.at his third place finish at the Malaysian Open.

"Obviously at this moment I'm pretty disappointed, but it was a good week," McIlroy said. "I started out really well and to shoot the scores I did considering the traveling is a pretty good effort. ... I'm proud of myself at how I picked myself up from last week and the way I came back on the back nine today."

Italian teenager Matteo Manassero had a one shot victory at the tournament.

Hey he is still in the top ten players in the World and the one who everyone loves to watch. At 21 I'd imagine he's got time to work on how he finishes, he certainly starts well. Up Down still!
Just the one then, Sean? Good going so.
Well done Rory!!!!!!!!!!!!! To reach where you did in this tournament!!!!!!!!!!Specially after the Masters failure...........shows the spirit you have . As for the media? Give the guy a break------There's no such thing as a perfect golfer!and look at the temperatures and humidity in KL the golfers had to endure. Well done Rory----------
