He has been lashing out all week, throwing his clubs in a rage when things have not gone his way.
After yet another disappointing shot on Sunday McIlroy went to throw his iron with considerable force.
He hesitated and instead opted for a more friendly throw at his own bag, but the club sprang back up in bizarre fashion, allowing McIlroy to catch it.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the funny mishap and found it equally hilarious and unbelievable.

McIroy, 36, said of his brief blackout: "It's just frustration with you guys [some sections of the media].
"I have been totally available for the past number of years.
"That [driver issue] was a part of it, but at Augusta, I skipped you guys on Thursday.
"It's not out of the ordinary as I've done it before, but I am doing it a little more often.
"I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do."
