Rory hits a bad shot, loses temper, throws his club in the water
After ripping his drive down the fairway on Doral's par-5 8th, Rory hit a bad second shot into water and sentenced his 3-iron to death by drowning. He went on to make bogey on the hole, which dropped him to one-over for the tournament.
Don't take our word for it:
People watching the action on Twitter, as you might expect, were pretty shocked by the whole thing.
Rory McIlroy just hit the ball in the water, then helicoptered his club into the lake. The Blue Monster claims another victim.
