Rory McIlroy hits his dad with errant shot at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rory McIlroy has not gotten off to a good start in his quest to complete the career Grand Slam.

Still looking for his first Masters victory, to go along with wins at the PGA (twice), U.S. Open and British Open, McIlroy made six bogies at Augusta National en route to a first round of 4-over. One of those bogies came on the par-4 seventh hole, when he sprayed his second shot right of the green.

"Fore right!" he yelled.

A "fan" standing next to the green apparently didn't hear him or wasn't able to move out of the way quick enough.
