Rory McIlroy made one of the most unconventional pars you'll ever see on the 14th hole at the Tour Championship on Friday.

His tee shot found the trees and landed in an unfamiliar spot: a fan's pocket.

McIlroy would go on to make par (and a new friend?) on the hole, after giving the fan a somewhat awkward high-five handshake-type thing.

Two holes prior, McIlroy drilled the flagstick en route to a birdie. An interesting few holes to say the least.
