We are not sure which hole this was, but McIlroy clearly was not happy with the tee shot, as he loudly shouted "f---ing p---y" for all to hear, including viewers watching ESPN at home.

McIlroy is looking to win his first major championship since 2014. At times, he can be a bit emotional out on the course. Back in 2015, he tossed his club into a pond after hitting a shot into the water.
McIlroy managed to regain his composure as he finished the round at 1-under par, putting him at even par for the tournament. He is tied for 10th place overall 5 shots behind the leaders, so he certainly has time to get back into it. Even if McIlroy is unable to pull into the lead, if he can at least stay close to the top of the leaderboard, he will earn himself a good payday.
