Even the FedExCup champion gets stumped by golf every now and then.
Rory McIlroy started strong at the DP World Tour's BMW PGA Championship on Thursday, going 2 under through seven holes despite rainy conditions. Then came the par-4 eighth.
Lying 1, McIlroy's ball was buried in soggy, unforgiving Wentworth rough, so as a four-time major champion does, he took a full swing at it.
And it went nowhere.
The ball popped up a foot, hit more rough and, once again, fell into the tender loving arms of that dreadingly long English grass, seemingly hiding away from the dreary day.
