Rory McIlroy Hits Tee Shot Into Spectator's Pocket On The Fly

Rory hit his tee shot right into this dude's pocket.

Rory McIlroy hit a slightly errant tee shot on the 14th hole at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Course in Atlanta, Georgia today and it somehow landed directly in the pocket of a spectator running out of the way. The guy, decked out in Auburn gear, was told to stay in the spot where it happened until McIlroy and eventually a tour official came to sort the matter out. Thankfully this is just a funny can you believe it? clip, but a couple inches the wrong way and no one's yucking it up.

After shooting the shit with the guy, and sharing another wacky golf-in-pants story with him, McIlroy marked the spot where the spectator's foot was and took his drop. His next shot was on the green, but before he took off the two shook hands and parted ways after one of the least believable hole-in-one stories ever.
