Champ Kind Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 * McIlroy chucks three-iron into pond * Re-groups to shoot two-under 70 (Updates after McIlroy cards a 70) March 6 (Reuters) - World number one Rory McIlroy earned himself a likely fine by the PGA Tour after losing his cool and hurling a club into a water hazard during an adventurous second round at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami on Friday. "Frustration got the better of me," McIlroy told Golf Channel about his club toss after posting a one-under total of 143 in tricky scoring conditions. I walked away with a bogey but was able to re-group and shoot a decent score." McIlroy, who missed the cut at last week's Honda Classic in his first PGA Tour start of the year, mixed six birdies with four bogeys for a roller-coaster round, ending the day eight shots off the lead. "Nice to finish under par, nice to move up the leaderboard a little bit but I've got some work to do on my game if I want to contend this weekend." McIlroy, who was left with just 13 clubs to complete his second round, is almost certain to be penalised for his public demonstration of anger, though the PGA Tour has a policy of never announcing details of fines.
