This video shot by a fan in the stands of Rory McIlroy’s incredible eagle at The Open is too good

The third round of the 150th Open Championship didn’t disappoint at all on Saturday. There was so much drama. There were so many great shots. And it all set up what should be an incredible final round on Sunday.

His shot reached the green and then rolled straight towards the hole. Fans were screaming for it to go in… and then it did just that.

Tomorrow is going to be an unreal day of golf.
