Rory McIlroy has vowed to make the Northern Trust Open a regular event on his schedule, despite a disappointing finish to his Riviera debut. The world No 3 was in contention for a first win of the year when he went in to the final round two strokes adrift of eventual winner Bubba Watson, but ended nine strokes off the pace after a final-round 75.McIlroy followed three rounds in the 60s by beginning Sunday with an eagle-three at the first, only to slide down the leaderboard as the day progressed. Although a tie-for-20th is McIlroys lowest worldwide finish since Octobers season-opening Frys.com Open, the Northern Irishman confirmed he enjoyed his first Riviera appearance enough to make a future return. This is definitely going to be a regular for me on the schedule going forward, McIlroy said after his final round. I really enjoyed it so much and there are so many great things to do. McIlroy ended the week nine strokes adrift of Bubba Watson Theres encouraging signs, but I turned a chance to win in to a top-20 at the end of the day so that wasnt too good.Tee-to-green it felt pretty good, but it was one of those days and I couldnt really get anything going after the good start. McIlroy couldnt follow on from an opening-hole eagle A missed par-save from fewer than five feet at the fourth was the first of three bogeys in a four-hole stretch along the front nine, before a hat-trick of blemishes from the 11th ended any hopes.After carding a seventh dropped shot of the round at the short 16th, McIlroy finished a frustrating final round in style by holing his chip from off the 18th green.I let a few shots slip away, McIlroy added. I was 12 under after the first hole and if you play a solid round of golf after that you have a great chance. A bogey at the 11th was the first of four dropped shots along the back nine The three-putt on four, I put it in the bunker on six and really couldnt get it up-and-down there. There was the three-putt on seven and were mistakes you shouldnt make. Thats what cost me.I felt like I played three solid rounds of golf and didnt make many mistakes. I was very solid in that department, but I just couldnt really get anything going.Rory McIlroy is back in action at this weeks Honda Classic, an event you can watch throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
