Rory McIlroy turned some heads with an absolutely stunning drive during the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play event at Austin Country Club in Texas on Thursday.
McIlroy was matched up with Denny McCarthy in Group 3 and was driving off the tee on the 375-yard par-4 18th hole. McIlroy somehow bombed his drive 349 yards, and the ball rolled to the green and stopped three feet away from the pin.
What a shot.
McIlroy eagled the hole as you could imagine, picking up a stroke on McCarthy, who birdied the hole. The advantage on 18 allowed McIlroy to win their match 2-up.
McCarthy actually began the round 3-up through the first six holes before they ended up tied after the 10th. They remained tied until McIlroy took the lead with a birdie on 16. He then ended his win over McCarthy with pizzazz thanks to that incredible drive on 18.
