McIlroy lets lead slip

RORY McILROY will come home a little richer for his appearance in the Korean Open but he picked-up nothing in terms of his world ranking.

McIlroy let slip a second victory this season in finishing third behind 23-year-old Korean Sang Moon Bae, who successfully defended his title after carding a final round 72 on the Jeung Hills Golf Club course in Seoul.

Bae carded a closing round four-under-par 67 to win by a stroke at 10-under-par.
