It was a wild two-shot sequence for Rory McIlroy on Sunday. One you’ll have to see to believe.
The World No. 3 hit a wayward tee shot on the par-4 ninth during the final round of the 2024 BMW Championship, and his ball came to rest on the bank just above a creek that meanders down the right side of the fairway. As McIlroy leaned on his driver to bend and grab his tee, his shaft snapped.
Down a club, McIlroy got to his ball and began to take off his shoes and then socks. He stepped in the creek and took a few different practice swings while adjusting his feet in the water and then on and around some rocks. He then took a swing, and what would you know, he hit a laser than landed right over the flag.

The birdie putt came up just a couple rolls short, leaving him with an easy par.
