Robert MacIntyre's hopes of securing a Ryder Cup debut were dashed as he squandered a four-shot lead to finish runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at the BMW Championship.

Rory McIlroy returned to action for the first time since his Royal Portrush Open homecoming at the BMW Championship in Maryland this week – and although he didn’t reign supreme, the Northern Irishman still walked away with a healthy paycheque.

The final group is coming down the home stretch and Scottie Scheffler still leads by two as of 5:15 p.m. ET. That lead was cut to one for a brief moment when Scheffler made two bogeys in three holes on Nos. 12 and 14, but he bounced back with a birdie from the fairway bunker on No. 15.
