Rory McIlroy had another disappointing outing at the recently concluded 2023 BMW Championship. Despite McIlroy finishing on solo fourth at the Olympia Fields North Course, fans were not happy with the four-time Major champion's multiple missed opportunities.
The PGA Tour shared a video of the moment when the golfer was on the 15th hole. He attempted an eagle and went on to miss it, although he did add a birdie to his scorecard to move to tied for fourth rank.

The missed eagle attempt prompted a lot of criticism from fans. Many were furious at the golfer misreading the greens of Olympia Fields North Course. One of them asked in the comments:
"Is Mcllroy the worst reader of greens in the top 10 in the world?"
The above-mentioned fan was replied to by another who said that making your "buddy" a caddie can result in such missteps.
"That’s what happens when you have a buddy as a caddie instead of a legit one."
There was another Twitter user who called the botched eagle attempt a "pathetic miss."
One of the fans wrote that they had anticipated the outcome of the attempt.
