Rory McIlroy just had a Happy Gilmore moment....and not in a good way

This is what one of us would look like if we were dropped onto the PGA Tour.

MOST GOLF FANS know the story of Happy Gilmore, the fictional golfer played by Adam Sandler who can drive the ball 400 yards but can’t putt it four feet. If you had to bet on Rory McIlroy doing one of those, you would definitely go with the former rather than the latter. If you made that bet, you would be wrong. This is from his third round at the BMW Championship tonight.

Don’t worry, this wasn’t Rory imploding in response to Caroline Wozniacki making the US Open final. Just look how he responded to the mishap.

What a response from @McIlroyRory - 4 putts from 5ft on 12, birdies 13 from 15ft #mentalstength #BMWChampionship
