Rory McIlroy's Pocket Shot at the Tour Championship
by Maura Hutchinson
He might not have been able to secure the win on Sunday but Rory McIlroy gave one spectator more than he bargained for on Friday. Driving straight into the man’s pocket on the 14th hole at the Tour Championship.
When asked afterwards if he had retrieved the golf ball, McIlroy coolly replied, “No, the fan took it out of his pocket. I know how sweaty my pockets are right now. I wasn't going in there.”
The Nike golfer took the mishap in stride, taking his free drop and managing to still make par on the hole.
