Scottish Open spectator grabs club from Rory McIlroy's bag, tries to take a swing

An absolutely bizarre scene unfolded Friday morning at the Scottish Open.

As you'll see from the video below, a spectator just casually walks over to Rory McIlroy's bag as the golfer is hanging out with Jon Rahm. The fan casually takes the driver cover off, grabs another club and looks like he's going to practice swinging.

The reaction from McIlroy is a literal double-take - it's sort of a "oh, uh, hi" before it's a "wait, WHAT?!" Security stepped it and escorted the fan away.

Per ESPN, "A spokesperson for the European Tour told ESPN 'the matter is now in the hands of Police Scotland.'"

This is so delightfully British. Everyone stands still as a man takes Rory's club for a spin. If this was in U.S., crowd would be going nuts, security guy would aggressively tackle the guy.

Seriously. How bizarre.

Here's what Rahm said about it, per The Scotsman:

"Me and Rory and Adam were just looking. Like 'what is going on?' After a little bit, when he walked back and they were taking him out you could smell the reason why it happened.

"Let me put it this way: you could smell the reason why he did what he did. He was clearly not sober. I'm going to say it was vodka. I'm no expert, but he had a long night for sure.

"He probably thought it was a fun idea. And, to be fair, it was quite funny."

Asked if he'd felt threatened, Rahm replied: "No. Me and Rory didn't say anything. He was holding a 6 iron and I didn't want to get hurt."
