Rory’s Club Takes a Dive! It looks like Rory McIlroy is not happy with his play in the FedEx Cup playoffs so far. The FedEx St. Jude Championship put him in 68th place with a score of 9 over, and the first two rounds of the BMW Championship have not been his best either, even though he was in the top 15 after 36 holes.

People saw the Northern Irishman throw a club into the water to show how upset he was that his shot didn’t go as planned. The video was shared on social media, and in just two hours, hundreds of thousands of people saw it.

The accident happened on the par-5, 527-yard 17th hole, which has water in front of the tee. Rory McIlroy took his first shot and hit it to the right hole. This made him angry, so he threw his club into the water right then.

How has Rory McIlroy performed during the 2024 playoffs?

Rory McIlroy, on the other hand, hit his third shot onto the green and made two putts for a par. He picked up his club from the water where he had thrown it before. So far, how has Rory McIlroy done in the 2024 playoffs? He had a terrible week at the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship, which was the first event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. McIlroy shot 9 over par at TPC Southwind and tied for 68th place, which was second to last.

A good first round of 68 for McIlroy got him off to a good start, but rounds of +3, +4, and +4 put him at the bottom of the rankings. One eagle, eight birdies, ten bogeys, three double bogeys, and one triple bogey were part of his round.

If you don’t count the fact that he missed the cut at The Open Championship, that was his worst finish of the season.

He got off to a better start in the BMW Championship. In the first round, he had one eagle, two birdies, and two bogeys, for a score of 2 under. This put him in the top 10. With three birdies and two bogeys in the second round, he went from T15 to T15, five spots behind the winner.

Adam Scott is in first place with 13 under after 36 holes, 10 shots ahead of him. In the end, Ludvig Aberg tied the course record that the Australian had set with a score of 63.

Before the FedEx Cup playoffs, McIlroy was placed third, three spots behind Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. The Northern Irishman was in that spot because he won two races and finished in the top ten four other times during the season.

The Wells Fargo Championship and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans were the events where he won. His second place at the US Open and third place at the Valero Texas Open are two of his top-10 finishes that stand out.

He also did well during the season by fishing T5 at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. It was his second top-10 finish at the Olympics.
