It's fair to say Rory McIlroy had an interesting few minutes during the season-ending Tour Championship. 

On one hole at East Lake he made this fan's day simply by giving a her a gentle high-five during the final round. 

At the very next hole McIlroy sprayed a drive wildly right and it smashed a gentleman on the forearm. 

Footage has now emerged of the moment and you can see clearly the nasty bruise McIlroy's TP5x left. 

McIlroy apologised and gave the spectator a signed glove before he went on to birdie the hole. 

The Northern Irishman finished the PGA Tour finale in solo fourth on 14-under behind U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland

McIlroy earned $4,000,000 for his finish.

"It's Viktor, but it's also Shay, his caddie"

McIlroy has two more events to play before the Ryder Cup

He has said he has no intentions of withdrawing from the Irish Open or BMW PGA Championship despite a back injury. 

"[I'll just] put the clubs away for a few days," he said after the Tour Championship. 

Of course the aforementioned Hovland is the hot topic right now. 

Padraig Harrington has revealed before the last Ryder Cup every single member of the European side asked to be paired with Hovland. 

McIlroy told reporters: 

"I think if anyone, if someone came along -- if someone came along to any of us on the team and said we're going to put you out with Viktor today I don't think anyone would say no.
"Just put it that way. Four-balls, foursomes. It's Viktor, but it's also Shay his caddie. They're a great duo. Great to get along with. I really enjoyed my day with him on Sunday last week when he shot the lights out.
"So, yeah, the other 11 guys on the European team I don't think would have an issue if they went out with Viktor."
