T4 in title defense McIlroy posted a share of fourth place at the Genesis Scottish Open after a two-under 68 in the final round. Impact McIlroy had putted well all year, but this week it was the reason he didn't really challenge for the victory at 63rd in SG: Putting. The good news is that he was second in both SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Around-the-Green. Overall, it was a good bounce back for McIlroy following the massive disappointment of missing a pair of short putts late that cost him a U.S. Open. He will be on a revenge tour next week at the Open Championship looking to end his major drought. McIlroy owns seven top-six finishes at the Open.
