Call it strategic, diabolic, or merely happenstance, Rory McIlroy is gunning for defending champion Adam Scott.

In actuality, McIlroy was just off target (to say it lightly) on the par-3 4th as Scott prepared for his tee shot on 5. 

(Just as McIlroy drew it up), Scott suffered his third bogey of the day and dropped to even-par on the tournament after nearly getting pegged by the wayward shot.
