Rory McIlroy's Errant Shot Finds Fan's Pocket

Rory McIlroy's tee shot at East Lake's 14th hole hit a tree and somehow ended up in a spectator's pocket. McIlroy was allowed a free drop under Rule 19-1a, which deals with a ball in motion that is accidentally deflected or stopped by an outside agency. The spectator, an unidentified man, diligently stood under the tree until McIlroy arrived, then handed the golfer the ball.
