McIlroy misses out as he pays for poor start
13 April 2012
Rory McIlroy cursed two double bogeys at the start of his final round at the South African Open.
Home favourite Richard Sterne beat Gareth Maybin in a play-off at the Pearl Valley Golf Estates.
McIlroy held a three-stroke lead over the eventual winner after three rounds, but his final-round 70 was four shots worse off as he ended with a total of 13 under.
The golfer from Northern Ireland said: "I had an absolutely horrendous start."
