Rory McIlroy launched a violent outburst in a bunker before launching himself to the top of the leaderboard in the third major of the year.
All the world's top golfers are in Boston at Brookline for the US Open and McIlroy is hoping for back to back victories after winning at last week's Canadian Open.
And McIlroy found himself with a horrid stance after a way ward drive on the fifth hole and after trying to launch a recovery pitch, McIlroy hit the adjacent bunker.
