Rory McIlroy had an up-and-down final round at the 2013 Players Championship, finishing the day two-under-par to post a final score of seven-under—well off the lead, which, at the time of his finish, was 13-under-par.

He birdied the par-five second hole and was one-under through the first five holes, but McIlroy ran into some trouble on the latter half of the front nine, making bogeys on No. 6, No. 8 and No. 9.

Thankfully, McIlroy was able to right the ship and finished strong with four birdies in his final six holes—including a three-hole stretch between No. 15 and No. 17.

McIlroy was brilliant this week hitting greens, but he struggled to get the ball in tight to the pins. In his final round, his average distance to the pin was over 35 feet. Not surprisingly, he struggled on the greens and averaged minus-0.830 strokes gained with his putter.

Here is a breakdown of McIlroy's Day 4 scorecard:
