Rory McIlroy is one of the favorites to win the U.S. Open this week, as he’s coming off a win last week in Canada and has been playing some really darn good golf this year.
He got off to a nice start in Thursday’s opening round at The Country Club in Brookline but then on short par-4 fifth hole he ran into some trouble and was reminded that golf is a really hard game.
McIlroy had a brutal lie just next to a bunker and had to stand in the sand to hit the shot. How’d that go for him? Not well. And he wasn’t pleased about it, either.

Yup, we’ve all been there before.
Rory then showed why he’s better than all of us at golf as he got his next shot on the green and then made a long putt for par, because of course.
From rage-smashing his club in the bunker to draining this for par
