A tense moment at The Players Championship went viral after Rory McIlroy confronted University of Texas golfer Luke Potter during a practice round at TPC Sawgrass.
After McIlroy’s drive found the water on the 18th hole, Potter reportedly made a comment that irritated the four-time major champion. McIlroy then walked over, took Potter’s phone, and appeared to search for a video before security escorted the college golfer off the course.
Reports suggest Potter referenced McIlroy’s infamous 2011 Masters meltdown, which may have triggered the reaction. While some fans back McIlroy, others argue he overstepped.
Was McIlroy justified, or did he take it too far? Let us know your thoughts!
