Rory McIlroy Avoids Penalty After Lost-Ball Scare, Shoots 68 at Abu Dhabi

His opening tee shot vanished in Yas Links, triggering a three-minute search until Marco Penge’s caddie, Max Bill, found it seconds before a penalty. After a rules check, he saved par and steadied, adding three front-nine birdies. With a TaylorMade Qi4D driver in the bag, he signed for 68 (-4), four back of Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood and others.
