(Reuters) - Rory McIlroy's second round at the Scottish Open got off to a bizarre start on Friday when a spectator came to the tee and took a club from his golf bag.

A video https://twitter.com/IrishGolferMag/status/1413428425461747712 circulating on social media showed a man confidently strolling across the tee area at The Renaissance Club, removing the distinctive headcover from McIlroy's driver and then returning to draw another club from the bag.
