Watch: Rory saves par from the water on No. 5

Rory McIlroy's third shot at the par-5 fifth on Thursday came up short of the green and in the water.

But after surveying his lie and seeing the ball was mostly sitting up, the world No. 1 rolled up his pant leg, played a sand/water shot and proceeded to get up and down for par.
