The 2019 Open Champion was well positioned to challenge for a top 10 after Saturday.
Shane Lowry finished in tied for 20th at the US Open Championship in Los Angeles at the weekend.
The Clara man shot a final round of 71 to finish with an overall score of one-over-par.
Despite maintaining a consistent level of performance which included rounds of 72, 70, 68 and 71 across the four days, the hunt for a second major was never on the cards.
Rory McIlroy finished in second just one shot behind eventual winner Wyndham Clark.
McIlroy believes he is getting closer to ending his major drought.
The world number three missed out on the US Open title last night, finishing a shot behind winner Wyndham Clark.
McIlroy was nine-under-par overall, after a final round of 70.
He says he's remaining optimistic he can end his nine-year wait for another major.
Further back Padraig Harrington finished on two over par after a final round of 73.
