Rory McIlroy drops another F-BOMB as he throws away Dubai Desert Classic
Rory McIlroy was firing F-bombs all over the shop at the Dubai Desert Classic.
Rory McIlroy was heard firing yet another F-bomb during the final round coverage of the Dubai Desert Classic en route to completely throwing away the Dubai Desert Classic on the closing holes.
McIlroy, who had already dropped an f-bomb when sending a tee shot into the desert on Friday, was back on the hot mics again when finding a bush in the desert on the short par-4 17th.

"Guys, this could f***ing go anywhere," said McIlroy, as he contemplated what to do after driving straight into a bush well left of the green at the driveable par-4 17th.
To McIlroy's credit, he got in there and hacked his ball out into the rough short of the green before playing a superb chip shot to two feet for a par.
That meant he just needed a birdie up the par-5 18th to win his third career Dubai Desert Classic.
But as seems to now too often be the case with McIlroy, he threw it all away.
Despite ripping his tee shot down the middle to set up a fairway wood into the green, McIlroy fluffed his lines and sliced his ball straight into the lake short of the green.
To be frank, it was not even close.

Viktor Hovland went on to defeat Richard Bland with a birdie at the first extra hole to wrap up his third title in his last five worldwide starts.
Hovland now moves up to a career-best World No.3, and we are fairly certain it won't be much longer until he wrestles top spot away from Jon Rahm.
