Rory McIlroy almost nailed by golf ball as Truist Championship fans dive for cover
Rory McIlroy was only a few feet away from being hit by a golf ball during the early stages of his final round at the Truist Championship. The fans gathered around McIlroy’s shot from the rough all ducked in unison when the ‘fore’ shout came, and although the stray ball bounced up and hit a policeman, everybody escaped unscathed.
McIlroy began his fourth and final round six shots back from the leaders after carding 69 on Saturday. He made the perfect start with a birdie on the first, moving him to nine under. And that is where he stayed until he arrived at the scene of his scary near-miss on the fifth.
