Rory McIlroy came up agonisingly short in his bid for a second victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational as Kurt Kitayama took the spoils.
McIlroy missed a ten-foot birdie putt on the final green to post the clubhouse lead at nine-under-par.
Kitayama, playing behind McIlroy, then birdied the 17th hole before finding the par four 18th in two shots to two-putt for the victory.
