However, one loud fan by the tee spot didn’t adhere to course-side etiquette by shouting after the swing.
The fan recorded themself shouting: “Bunker!
“Get in the bunker!”
Northern Irishman did not take kindly to the shouting.
And as he walked away from the tee off he made a brutal gesture towards the fan.
The 37-year-old directed a death stare towards the heckler before making a belly gesture.
This prompted the heckler to scream wildly.
McIlroy ended the tournament at 3-over, tied for 32nd.

And as he watched it roll wayward, he followed up to say: “Urgh just go home Rory, f***ing hell.”
