Rory McIlroy finished in joint second at the Abu Dhabi Championship this morning on 13 under par. 

Pablo Larrazabal claimed the tournament crown by one stroke on 14 under par, just ahead of McIlroy and Phil Mickelson. 

But the Northern Irishman will be bitterly disappointed not to have claimed the win, as he was docked two shots after his third round.

He was seen on TV cameras to have his left foot on a boundary line while taking an approach shot. That penalty meant that he had dropped to 9 under par, but impressed during his fourth round to finish just one shot off the lead.

Michael Hoey was next best of the Irish on seven under after a final round 73. Paul McGinley was a shot further back after carding a 70, while Darren Clarke finished his week on level par after posting a 73.
