Rory's 3-wood snap poor form or faulty equipment?

TROON, Scotland – That club toss on 16 that resulted in a broken 3-wood?

Rory McIlroy says it was part poor form, part faulty equipment.

The clubhead on his 3-wood came loose earlier this week and needed to be re-glued. The club certainly has to be re-shafted now, after he flailed a shot way right, chucked his club and snapped the head. The Nike trailer is still on-site this week, so McIlroy said “all will be well in the morning.”

McIlroy still made par on the hole and shot 73, dropping him to even-par 213 for the week.
