The Offaly man held a three shot lead heading into the final three holes.
A late collapse denied Shane Lowry a dramatic victory at the Cognizant Classic in Florida.
The Offaly man held a three-shot lead with just three holes to play and looked set to end his individual winless run stretching back to 2022.
But back-to-back double bogeys at 16 and 17 - both after finding water off the tee - saw the tournament slip from his grasp.
Lowry, who had surged clear with a brilliant run of five under in five holes around the turn, could only par the last for a closing 68, and say's it's a hard pill to swallow:
