Rory McIlroy fluffed his shot as he attempted to chip on to the green at the ninth hole, but responded as you’d expect from the world number one.

Rory McIlroy played a delightful flop-shot from a tricky position during the third round of the Players Championship, but his first attempt was one to forget.

The world No 1 short-sided himself after tugging his second shot to the par-five ninth into the lush rough to the left of the putting surface, leaving himself little green to work with.

Opting for a flop-shot, McIlroy's lob wedge slid straight under the ball with his first go, but he got it right second time and left himself with little more than a tap-in for par.
