A makeshift stand behind the 14th tee at the PGA Championship has already caught the attention of Rory McIlory.
The platform was spotted during Wednesday’s practice rounds at Aronimink.
A group of fans were seen with deckchairs and drinks as they overlooked the course from their back garden.
Their viewing platform also overlooks the 13th green, with the residents once again taking in the action on Thursday.
Words exchanged
However, they appeared to distract McIlroy after he had chipped onto the green during his opening round.
The Masters champion began his tournament on the tenth hole at 1:40pm alongside Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm.
Having come up short of the green with his second shot on the par four 13th, McIlroy found himself chipping on from in front of the make-shift stand.
A stunning effort left him within kick-in distance for a par as he exhibited his short game expertise.
However, McIlroy had seemingly heard a noise behind him when taking the shot.
After finding the green, he turned back to speak to the fans overlooking the green.
The world No.2 could be heard saying: “Just do it after we hit,” before walking away.
His par on the 13th was the second of four in a row as he steadied himself during the opening round.
McIlroy had started with a bogey on the tenth before immediately responding with a birdie on 11.
McIlroy’s blister issue
The 37-year-old also appeared to be moving more freely having been contending with a blister on his toe this week.
He first revealed he was dealing with the issue at last weekend’s Truist Championship.
McIlroy had been seen limping during his third and fourth round as he ended the tournament ten shots adrift of winner Kristoffer Reitan.
The injury had persisted into this week, threatening to disrupt his PGA Championship preparations.
After abandoning his practice round on Tuesday, McIlroy opted for a new pair of shoes on Wednesday.
This weekend sees the Northern Irishman once again aiming to win his third PGA Championship following wins in 2012 and 2014.
A victory would also keep alive hopes of a potential calendar Grand Slam after his successful Masters defence last month.
