Last year, I hit a 275-yard drive during a scramble with friends. I celebrated Happy Gilmore style, rode my driver like a goddamn pony—dropped my pants on the tee box, shook my wang at everybody. That was probably an over-the-top reaction. Today, Rory McIlroy hit a 436-yard drive at the Scottish Open. He barely pumped a fist. He’s not as cool as me, obviously.
Sure it was downwind and sure it was a links course. But 436 yards is 39 yards farther than any drive on the PGA tour this season. So take that Caroline Wozniacki!
McIlroy finished the round with a course record 7-under 64.
