A Texas Longhorns golfer attending a practice round at The Players was removed following an incident with Rory McIlroy.

When practicing for Thursday’s opening round of The Players Championship, a college golfer heckled the four-time major winner from behind the 18th tee box at the Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., course, with McIlroy later taking matters into his own hands — literally.

A 68, that included a bogey on his final hole of the day has Rory McIlroy squarely in the chase for his second Players Championship victory at 9-under.
