Unbelievable just some minutes agoRory McIlroy was involved in a fatal accident\’ full details below 👇 👇
Rory McIlroy produced another piece of magic on Thursday despite his club head falling off in a bizarre incident at the BMW PGA Championship.
The Northern Ireland golfer was back in action just days after his agonising miss at the Irish Open when he bogeyed two of the last four holes to lose out to Rasmus Hojgaard by a single shot.
It was a cruel end to McIlroy\’s hopes of landing a big prize on home soil, and a loss that deflated the incredible atmosphere at Royal County Down.
McIlroy is hoping to make amends this week, and he started the BMW in impressive fashion on Thursday, surging to the top of the leaderboard on -6 after 13 holes.
There was one bizarre moment, however, when McIlroy\’s club head fell off after hitting an approach shot into the Par 5 12th. As the 35-year-old stared in disbelief at his club shaft, his ball bounced onto the green and landed close to the pin.

You can hear someone in the background say \”I\’ve never seen that in person\”, while one of the TV commentators adds: \”The head flew off his club…and then the ball nearly goes in the hole. How about that? I have never seen that in person either.\”
