Rory McIlroy Throws Club into Water at BMW Championship

Rory McIlroy exhibited visible frustration during the BMW Championship in Colorado, tossing his 3-wood into a water hazard after hitting a wayward tee shot on the 17th hole. Despite this outburst, he managed to finish the round with a score of 1-under 71, leaving him 10 shots behind the leader, Adam Scott, who shot a course record 63. McIlroy's struggles continued as he bogeyed the previous hole and only managed three-putts on the greens, showcasing a disappointing run during the tournament. His performance this summer has been lackluster, including a missed cut at The Open and a fifth-place finish at the Olympics. While McIlroy retrieved his club shortly after the incident, it highlighted his ongoing challenges as he faces a steep climb in the playoffs. The pressure on McIlroy is mounting, especially with the upcoming Tour Championship looming.
