SAINT QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Rory McIlroy’s run of close calls continued Sunday during the final round of the Olympic golf tournament, where he was making a huge comeback, only to come up short in the water.
McIlroy had made five straight birdies on the back nine to pull within one shot of the leaders but dumped his second shot in the water short of the green at the par-4 15th hole, leading to a crushing double bogey.
