McIlroy facing fine after throwing club in frustration

Rory McIlroy had a battle on his hands just to keep his emotions in check as he looked to get into contention to defend his BMW PGA Championship title at Wentworth on Friday.

McIlroy faces a fine from the European Tour after throwing a club in frustration following a poor second shot to the 17th in an opening round of 71, which left him six shots off the lead held by former Ryder Cup team-mate Francesco Molinari.
