Rory McIlroy salvages par from water at PGA Championship

Rory McIlroy looked certain to drop at least one shot when he pulled his third into water during the PGA Championship first round, but the world No 1 was determined to salvage a par in stunning style.
McIlroy found trouble off the tee and had to play out sideways from a fairway bunker before tugging a seven-iron into the drink to the left of the green.
But with his ball only partially submerged, the defending champion decided he could "splash out" rather than take a penalty drop - the ultimate risk/reward shot.
And in this case, it was all reward. Click on the video to watch Rory get down and dirty to salvage his par.
