That summed up the day, and the PGA Tour postseason, for former world No.1 McIlroy.
He managed a par on the hole and one-under 71 on Friday in the BMW Championship that left him 10 shots out of the lead.
As club throws go, this was pretty tame.

McIlroy, coming off a three-putt bogey on the 16th hole, hit his drive to the right rough and then casually flung the three-wood toward the left.
It bounced once and went in the water. He walked over to the edge of the water, reached down and retrieved it.
It was far worse at Doral in 2015 at a World Golf Championship.
McIlroy hit three-iron into the water and then heaved the club into the middle of the lake, before using 13 clubs the rest of the way.
Former President Donald Trump, who owns Doral, hired scuba divers to retrieve the club.
