Luke Donald could not stop the Deutsche Bank Championship getting away from him for the second year in a row in Boston.
After charging to the turn in 30 and leading the second of the FedEx Cup play-off events by one with seven holes to play, England's World Number One double-bogeyed the 12th and dropped another stroke on the short 16th.
Donald, joint runner-up last September after leading into the back nine, did birdie the par five last for a 67 and 13 under par total, but finished two behind Americans Chez Reavie and Webb Simpson – the latter claiming victory in a play-off.
At least Donald's hopes of the US$10,000,000 FedEx Cup jackpot are still alive – he also leads The Race to Dubai, of course.
Donald was two behind Bubba Watson at the start of the day, but with the left-hander having a shocker he and playing partner Simpson fed off each other.
Both eagled the seventh after three earlier birdies and when they birdied the ninth they were both out in 30.
