Rory McLaroy had a sensational third round, which saw him growing in the option in the Royal Portrash on Saturday, yet the shot could miss the most when he hit two balls with a swing.
The 36 -year -old Mcilroy hit a wrong drive on the 11th hole and landed on the ball, where the fans were standing. Mcilroy’s ball had a decent lie, as the ground was trampled in the last few days.
However, what McLaroy did not know was that directly under his ball, another golf ball was immersed in the ground that could not be seen, as it was buried below the surface.

As soon as McLaroy swooped, his ball went away in the Fairway at 117 yards, and when he approached the ground, the second ball pops up to a few feet in the air and landed between his feet.
Mcilroy looked down almost immediately and picked up the ball in mistrust.
“Oh my God,” McClero said that as soon as he picked up the ball, he discovered with his swing.

Mcilroy eventually threw the ball into a shrub and asked NBC’s on -or analyst Roger Maltbi, “Have you ever seen before?”
“This is the most strange, ridiculous thing I have ever seen,” McClayo said after the round.
Mcilroy finished with a bogie, and a discovered ball on the 11th hole. The bogie was the only defect of that day on the 11th hole.

The Grand Slam winner became hot and heated as he made three of his first four holes. After his bogie on the 11th hole, he responded by giving a drought to the 56-foot Eagle put on the 12th hole to get the stroke back.
Mcilroy saw another Birdi on the 15th hole, and the 5-ender for the day is over, and the 8-ender for the tournament.
