Rory McIlroy's incredible five-word verdict after wayward shot leaves commentators stunned

Rory McIlroy produced one of the most amusing moments of the final round at the Genesis Scottish Open after making a tongue-in-cheek assessment of his own game following a wayward approach shot at the par-4 16th.

After slipping down the leaderboard with a disappointing third-round 73 in the fog-delayed action at The Renaissance Club, McIlroy responded in style on Sunday. 

The World No. 2 carded a superb six-under-par 64 to finish the week on 12-under par in a tie for seventh.

South Korea's Tom Kim won the Genesis Scottish Open by two shots on 17-under par. 

McIlroy's closing 64 marked the 15th sub-70 round of his Genesis Scottish Open career, further underlining his impressive record in the event.

It was an encouraging end to the tournament for McIlroy, who now heads to next week's Open Championship full of confidence as he looks to lift the Claret Jug for a second time and bookend his season with major victories having successfully defended The Masters in April.

McIlroy made a flying start to Sunday's final round at the Genesis Scottish Open, rolling in five birdies across his opening seven holes before a bogey at the ninth saw him turn in 31 shots. 

The 37-year-old Northern Irishman picked up further shots at the 12th and 13th to keep the momentum going, but his round hit a couple of bumps with a three-putt par on the 14th and bogey at the par-4 16th.

After pulling his approach shot well left of the green on the 16th, the Ulsterman looked skyward before delivering an extraordinary verdict on his own game. Scroll down to watch...

"I'm so bad at golf," he said in frustration as he watched his ball plummet into deep rough. 

The self-deprecating remark immediately caught the attention of the Sky Sports Golf team, who knew better than to take the comment literally from one of the game's all-time greats.

Watch McIlroy's hilarious reaction on 16: 

The errant approach ultimately led to a bogey, but McIlroy wasted little time putting the mistake behind him. 

He responded in perfect fashion, rolling in a 13-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th before closing with a routine par at the last.

Watch McIlroy bounce back on 17: 

His closing 64 marked the joint-lowest round of the day and provided the perfect boost ahead of The Open at Royal Birkdale next week. 

If McIlroy can carry that Sunday momentum into the year's final major, then he will very much fancy his chances of etching his name on the famous Claret Jug for the second time in his career. 

And if there was ever any doubt, McIlroy's final-round performance served as a timely reminder that he is, in fact, very good at golf.
