Rory McIlroy Could have made history when he struck two golf balls immediately during the 153rd Open Championship.
Competing in the third round on Saturday, July 19, McIlroy, 36, shook his wedge only to discover a second ball that, unknowingly, had been sitting underneath. As the second ball emerged, McIlroy exclaimed in a video shared by The athletic“Oh, my God.”
McIlroy quickly bent down to lift the second ball, before laughing alongside others. “There was a ball there!” said a publisher. “Oh, my gosh.” The athletic headline put the clip, “Rory McIlroy made another ball to appear.”
After the round, Mcilroy said he was “honest” unsure what had translated on the course. “That’s the most strange, ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen,” said McIlroy, per Neat. “Then my ball came out very strange and winding. Yes, so strange.”
Even the best golfers in the world sometimes have bad days. During his final round at the PGA Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio on Sunday, June 9, Rory McIlroy shook from the Fairway directly into the water. In response, McIlroy, 35, threw his club back in disgust and nearly hit a cameraman standing (…)
Scottie Scheffler Eventually, he reigned victoriously in the Northern Ireland tournament held at the Royal Portrowh Golf Club. Before the tournament, McIlroy reflected on his return to the course.
“When I was looking at the calendar for 2025, it was the tournament circled, even more so than the masters,” McIlroy said earlier this month, according to ESPN Uggs pairs.
McIlroy won a Master’s victory for the first time in April, making history like the sixth golfer to win a grand career slam.
“I’ve done something I’ve told everyone I want to do, but then it’s like I’m still feeling I have a lot more to give,” McIlroy added. “I still feel there is a lot left there. The story is certainly not over.”
Between the tournaments, McIlroy had a short, two weeks where he has a “mental” reset with a wife Erica stoll and their 4 year old daughter, Poppy. (McIlory and Stoll, now 37, tied the knot in 2017. The Golf Pro filed for a divorce from Stoll after seven years of marriage in 2024, but dismiss the filing month later.)
“We came back a few weeks ago and moved to our new home in Wentworth (England) and we’ve been trying to settle in,” McIlroy told reporters in June. “It’s amazing what two weeks of a little disconnect can do for you.”
He added, “Sitting there with your own thoughts for a while. It has been nice to have this time to reflect and also to retry my excitement and enthusiasm for the rest of the year.”
