Matthieu Pavon carded a horror 12 on his opening hole of his second round at TPC Toronto
McIlroy struggled in his opening round after a one-over total, and his second round got off to a disastrous start when he shot 8 on the par four fifth hole.
The Masters champion flared his tee shot into the left rough — but it went from bad to worse when he tugged his next shot out of bounds.
His second ball flew the green and McIlroy butchered the hole around the dancefloor, racking up a card-killer of a score.
At the time of writing, the projected cut is two under par- with McIlroy currently an eye-watering seven shots outside the weekend number in Ontario.

The last time he missed a cut came at the 2024 Open at Royal Troon last July.
The Northern Irishman hasn't finished outside the top 25 in back-to-back events since he went MC-T47 at the 2023 Masters and Wells Fargo.
But he's almost certain to miss the cut at TPC Toronto after a T47 in his last event played at the PGA Championship.
Elsewhere, Matthieu Pavon carded a shocking 12 on the par 4 10th hole in Canada after starting on the back-nine.

Rory McIlroy says green jacket is 'on a yacht' as he parties in France
Rory McIlroy told a fan that he is keeping his green jacket on a yacht as he took a well-earned break following the completion of the major season. McIlroy achieved his lifelong dream of completing the career grand slam when he won the Masters earlier this year. With the FedEx Cup starting in a couple of weeks, he is spending some time holidaying abroad. The five-time major winner took some time to adjust after the big win, with his form slumping, and spoke publicly about needing time to adjust following such an achievement. And now with the majors behind him, McIlroy is enjoying some time soaking in the sun and drinking some wine in Saint Tropez, France. In a video circulating on social media, McIlroy was seen enjoying himself with friends, before an onlooker managed to grab his attention and asked where his green jacket is before a buzzing McIlroy said: "It's on the yacht!' McIlroy finished in a tie for seventh at last week's Open Championship and spoke about it being a dream come true. "Thank you to all the fans for your incredible support at Portrush this past week," McIlroy wrote on Instagram. "Playing in front of the home crowd was an experience I will never forget. A special thank you to the staff at @dunlucelodge for their world class hospitality." 'I feel like being back in Europe for a bit was a nice reset,' said McIlroy after The Open. 'I feel like I'm getting back to where I want to be and we've still got a lot of golf left this year with obviously Ryder Cup being the big one in there in September. 'I don't want to play too much leading up to that because I want to be fresh so I'm looking forward to a few weeks off here. 'I'll reflect on what's been already a good year and start to get myself ready for that run up to the Ryder Cup.'
