Rory McIlroy expressed ongoing concerns about his swing as he heads into the Tour Championship, despite a strong performance at the BMW Championship where he narrowly missed victory.

After a disappointing 66th place finish at the FedEx St Jude Championship, McIlroy showed improvement at Bellerive Country Club. He birdied three of the last four holes in his third round, positioning himself just five strokes behind leader Wyndham Clark. The final day saw McIlroy pull level with Clark, but he ultimately finished in third place, four strokes back, as Clark secured the win with a strong finish.

Key moments from the BMW Championship include:

• McIlroy tied for the lead with three holes remaining.
• Clark's final round featured three birdies, clinching his victory.
• McIlroy acknowledged his game was still not where he wanted it, stating, "I'm still not in a spot where I'm super happy with where my game is or where my swing is."

Despite his frustrations, he noted, "It's nice to know, even when I'm not super happy with everything, I can still piece it together and give myself a chance to win."

Reflecting on key moments, McIlroy highlighted a crucial putt on the 16th hole that shifted momentum in Clark's favor. He admitted to making a poor decision on the par-five 17th, which led to a bogey.

Looking ahead, the PGA Tour season culminates at the Tour Championship at East Lake GC, where only the top 30 players compete for the FedExCup and a $10 million prize.
