Rory McIlroy's attempt to claim the Scottish Open title came up short despite posting a respectable six-under-par final round at The Renaissance Club. His solid scoring proved unable to sustain his challenge for the tournament crown as his bid ultimately faltered.

McIlroy expressed visible frustration following his round, openly criticising his own play. His evident disappointment reflected the shortfall between his actual performance and what would have been required to contend seriously for the title.
