Video: Rory Turns A 514-Yard Par-4 Into A Drive And Pitch
/For the millionth time, all kudos to Rory McIlroy for the gym time and to his team for launch monitor work allowing him to turn a 514-yard par-4 into a drive and gap-wedge hole. Still, does it not at least raise a few eyebrows of those wondering when the distance chase will end?
On Quail Hollow's 16th, en route to a dominating Wells Fargo Championship win, McIlroy's overpowering of the 16th is impressive. But is there a point when the numbers become so silly that the fan finds them farcical and views the game as juiced?
Either way, as long as it makes Johnny Harris spend more money on new tees for the 2017 PGA and prompts him to send the bill to the USGA and R&A, I'm good with it!
