Rory McIlroy got a break that could be worth £10m at the Tour Championship on Friday when an errant tee shot on the back nine found a spectator's pocket.
The world number one's drive at East Lake Golf Club's 14th hole ricocheted off a tree and landed inside the shorts of a fan standing to the right of the fairway.
McIlroy was allowed a free drop and went on to make a par four on his way to a five-under-par second round, which put him in contention for the huge jackpot at the PGA Tour's end-of-season finale. Watch the video below.
American pair Billy Horschel and Chris Kirk were the overnight leaders following bogey-free rounds in Georgia.
