There was big disappointment for Rory McIlroy overnight.

He missed out on claiming the Fed Ex Cup and the 10 million dollar bonus that would bring.

The World Number went into the final day of the Tour Championship in Atlanta with a share of the lead.

But he had a poor final round, dropping five shots over six holes, including a double bogey on the sixth, to end his challenge.

A 1 over par round of 71 saw him end on 8 under par in a tie for second place.

He finished 3 shots behind winner Billy Horschel, who won the Fed Ex Cup and the 10 million dollar prize.

It's a stunning result for American Horschel, who was only 60th in the standings prior to the opening play-off tournaments, but finished runner-up in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

He then won the next tournament, the BMW Championship.

And success yesterday saw him claim the big prize.
