Rory McIlroy's club head flies off during bizarre shot
Rory McIlroy's Unusual Shot at BMW PGA Championship
During the first round of the BMW PGA Championship, Rory McIlroy experienced an unexpected equipment failure. On the par-5 12th hole, the head of his 9-iron detached during his swing, yet his ball remarkably landed within 7 feet of the flag.
It was a bit of a weird feeling. Obviously, you're expecting the weight of the club to just pull through, and there was nothing there.
Despite this unusual incident, McIlroy managed to finish the round with a strong 5-under 67, placing him just two strokes behind the leader. The golfer views this tournament as an opportunity to rebound from his recent runner-up finish at the Irish Open.
