Billy Horschel sympathised with Rory McIlroy after condemning golf's self-proclaimed "nearly man" to another heartbreaking defeat in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

Horschel eagled the second play-off hole to win the DP World Tour's flagship event for the second time in four years after he, McIlroy and South Africa's Thriston Lawrence had finished tied on 20 under par.
