University of Texas golfer Luke Potter has apologized after he reportedly was removed from the grounds at TPC Sawgrass earlier this week for heckling star golfer Rory McIlroy.
Video of the incident spread on social media earlier the week. McIlroy, playing a practice round Tuesday at Sawgrass ahead of this week's Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, hit a drive on the 18th hole into the water, then immediately turned back, walked over to Potter standing outside the ropes, asked for his cell phone, took it and then walked away.
