McIlroy hits hole in one in spectators pocket

A shot from Rory McIlroy over the weekend made headlines as the ball hit a tree and somehow managed to land inside the trouser pocket of a fan who was watching his round.  An interesting hole in one!

The spectator then stood still until McIlroy could make his way to him. After a brief conversation and bringing in the nearest rules official, McIlroy dropped the ball beneath the pocket of the fan and then found the green and managed to make par. The fan got to shake hands with the world’s No. 1 player, but sadly didn’t get to keep the ball as a souvenir.

A good-natured McIlroy later spoke to reporters about the incident.
