Glum Rory McIlroy slumps on grass at PGA Championship as rare vanishing golf ball causes chaos
The Aronimink course has proven to be very difficult for the best golfers in the world.
Frustrations have boiled over, proven by Jon Rahm accidently hitting a volunteer with a divot, and Justin Thomas’ group arguing with officials after being held up.
One of the key sources of frustration has been from the pace of play and it wasn’t helped by a bizarre moment on the 10th hole for Sahith Theegala.
Theegala, lost his ball after hitting out of a bunker on hole 10.
The American swung a big hook out of the sand, which hit a tree and vanished.
Course officials and Theegala tried to find where his shot landed but couldn’t locate it within three minutes, so it officially became a lost ball.
The delay caused a backlog, and cameras captured Rory McIlroy slumped up against the advertising board waiting to be able to proceed with his round.
It’s a rare occurrence that professionals lose their balls on the course.
They hit their shots so straight and that there are many ball spotters spread around the hole they’re playing.
