Rory McIlroy didn't win the FedEx Cup despite winning two of the four play-off events but it wasn't a total waste of time. McIlroy walked away with $3 million for finishing second to Brandt Snedeker in the overall series, prompting this Twitter exchange between the World Number 1 and US blogger Stephanie Wei.

@McIlroyRory : "Not the week I wanted but still a great FedEx cup run the last few weeks! Well done to Brandt! Well deserved! Ryder Cup here I come! #EUROPE"

@StephanieWei : "@McIlroyRory and $3 million isn't too bad for losing, right? ;) "
