Rory McIlroy’s failed to qualify for the PGA Tour season ending Tour Championship.

He won’t have the chance to defend his FedEx Cup title after finishing 58th at the BMW Championship in Illinois overnight.

McIlroy needed a top-four finish to advance.

Marc Leishman won the event by five-strokes at 23-under.

Meanwhile Romain Wattel clinched the KLM Open in the Netherlands.

He finished a shot clear of the field on 15 under after a final round of 69.

Paul Dunne ended up best of the Irish – he hit an excellent 66 to finish on 11 under par and a tie for 14th place.

Padraig Harrington carded a 69 to finish up on 3 under.
