It has to be one of the images of the year. For its unusualness. First round of the BMW PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy hits his second shot on hole 12, from the centre of the fairway. Iron to green. He hits the ball and, suddenly, something very strange happens.
The head of the iron separates from the shaft and flies 60 metres. Disbelief. Has anything like this ever happened to you with an iron? McIlroy couldn’t believe it.
However, it was a great shot. Two and a half metres for eagle.
Have you ever seen this before? 🤯
