Rory McIlroy is currently -5 in the Open Championship at Portrush, after a decent start to his third round which has seen him have three birdies and one bogeys in his first 10 holes.
After a wayward tee shot on the 11th, one of the most bizarre moments we ever seen in golf occurred.
While hitting his approach from the rough, it initially looked as if he had miss-hit his ball and it just went straight up in the air and back down.
But clearly this wasn't the case as the cameras showed his ball roll up towards the green.
There was, however, another ball which was then picked up in amazement by McIlroy after it had landed by his feet.
It turned out that he had hit a buried ball, that was likely hit and lost by a member.
