The pair met at the driving range at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth
Golf fans are convinced Rory McIlroy "hadn't a clue" who Hollywood movie star Tom Holland was during a painfully awkward exchange between the pair.
Spider-Man actor Holland played at this week's BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am at Wentworth, a tournament which features Northern Ireland golfer McIlroy. Holland introduced himself to McIlroy on the driving range, and even mentioned his name. But McIlroy didn't appear to recognise the silver screen star, replying: "Hello Tom, how you doing?"Read more: Linfield boss Healy fires warning to players, and there's history to back it up
There was no mention of Holland's career or work, leading many onlookers to ask if McIlroy even knew who he was talking to.Another added: "Rory hasn’t got a clue who Tom Holland is. Not a bad swing though!"And this fan said: "Rory obviously doesn't have a clue who he is!"McIlroy is hoping to bounce back from his Irish Open nightmare, when he bogeyed two of the final four holes to lose out to Rasmus Hojgaard at Royal County Down last Sunday.
He enjoyed a decent opening round at Wentworth, posting a five-under-par 67 to sit one shot off the lead.
