The Clara man was well placed to end his title drought on Sunday.
Shane Lowry looked back to his best this week, finishing tied 4th at the Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach.
The Offaly man shot a 67, 67 and a 66 to put himself in contention on Sunday.
However, bad weather meant that Lowry could only complete five holes of his final round on Sunday - which led to his 71 score on Monday.
Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy were also in action at Palm Beach.
Harrington failed to make the cut, while McIlroy finished tied 21st at 10 under.
