McIlroy rues three holes that derailed 'realistic' late major title push

Scottie Scheffler admitted his putting performance at the PGA Championship was a ‘bitter pill to swallow’, as he and Rory McIlroy failed to put pressure on Aaron Rai during the closing holes of his major victory.

Rai stormed to a maiden major title with an impressive three-shot victory at Aronimink Golf Club, where he carded an eagle and four birdies - including one from 70 feet - over his last 10 holes to pull clear of a congested leaderboard.
