Rory McIlroy - Too little too late for green jacket at the Masters

Rory McIlroy's best round of the week at Augusta National proved too little too late as quest for a green jacket was put down as another missed opportunity at the Masters, writes the Irish Examiner's Simon Lewis.

A three-under-par 69 on Sunday gave the world number two his fourth consecutive top-10 finish in the year's opening major championship but a tie for seventh will be of no comfort to a man seeking the final leg of a career grand slam.
