‘Very weird feeling’: Rory McIlroy explains shot you have to see to believe

Rory McIlroy’s unusual shot at this year’s Genesis Scottish Open left him with a “very weird feeling.”

The four-time Major winner incredibly managed to pull off a remarkable feat – hitting a provisional ball out of a bush, then remarkably finding his original ball near a tree.

McIlroy opted to play the original ball, going on to bogey the hole, but couldn’t quite believe his eyes.

“You could see where my provisional ball ended up, and as we were walking down there I could see that my original ball was basically sitting next to the tree,” McIlroy explained.

“I couldn’t believe it, just to be honest. I thought there’s no way my ball ended up there.”

Rory McIlroy explains problem LIV defectors would have as Ryder Cup captains

Rory McIlroy has outlined the problem that LIV defectors would face if they were to be considered for Ryder Cup captaincy in the future.

Speaking to the media after the third round of the Scottish Open, McIlroy said that it would be “very difficult” for a LIV golfer to be accepted as captain by the European team.

“I think it would be a very difficult position for the captain to be in,” McIlroy said. “You’ve got a team of players who have given everything to get to that point, and then you’ve got a captain who has gone to a rival tour.”

“I think it would be very difficult for the players to accept that. I think it would create a lot of tension within the team. So, I don’t think it’s a feasible option.”

Rory cards 67 in round marked by flying clubhead

Rory McIlroy stormed into contention at the CJ Cup in South Carolina with a scintillating 67 on Friday, despite a bizarre incident involving his clubhead flying off. The four-time major champion reached 5 under par for the tournament after 36 holes, trailing leader Kurt Kitayama by three strokes. McIlroy’s round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 15th hole, but it was overshadowed by the clubhead incident on the 13th hole. After hitting an aggressive drive, McIlroy’s clubhead detached and sailed into the rough. Remarkably, the Northern Irishman was able to find the clubhead and reattach it, before hitting a superb approach shot to set up a birdie.
