Olympics latest: McIlroy just misses out on a medal after finishing fifth

Rory McIlroy has missed out on a medal at the Men's Golf at the Paris Olympic Games.

A double bogey on 15 proved costly as he ended the week on 15 under par and in a tie for 5th place.

The USA's Scottie Scheffler won the gold medal on 19 under par with Team GB's Tommy Fleetwood winning silver and Hideki Matsuyama taking the bronze.

Shane Lowry shot a level par round of 71 to finish on 5 under par and in a tie for 26th.

Daniel Wiffen is looking to secure his second gold medal of the Paris Games.

The Armagh man goes in the final of the 1500 metre Freestyle after half 5 this evening.

He's looking to add to the 800 metre gold medal from earlier in the week.
