Watch Rory McIlroy putt his ball into the Road Hole bunker at St. Andrews
Rory McIlroy was battling for yet another win this season, in the thick of it in the final round of the European Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday.
Playing the Old Course at St. Andrews, McIlroy found himself in a tricky spot on the famous 17th hole. In search of a way to the green for an awkward angle, McIlroy pulled out the flat stick and tried to putt his balll onto the green. It didn’t go well. McIlroy putted his ball into the famous Road Hole bunker guarding the green.
From there, McIlroy made a costly bogey that would ultimately be the difference in losing to Oliver Wilson, who at No. 792 in the world won his first European Tour event after 228 career starts.
