If you want to see what JOE looks like playing golf, step this way.

Rory McIlroy’s four-putt on the par-3 12th at the BMW Championship was just one of those nightmare holes that any amateur golfer has experienced time and time again.

Granted, you don’t expect it of a world number one coming off the back of two consecutive Major wins.

At least McIlroy can point to Rickie Fowler’s disastrous showing at Disney’s, ehm, illustrious Fantasia Putt-Putt course back in 2010 for comfort.

As for Rory, he went on to birdie the 13th but is now out of contention for a fourth tournament win out of six, lying nine shots behind leader Billy Horschel going into the final round.
