This drive was quite the stunner from Rory McIlroy to close out his day at Austin Country Club.
On Thursday, McIlroy opened No. 18 during the second day of Match Play with a gorgeous 349-yard drive. The ball bounced off of the green and rolled within four feet of the hole, making for an easy eagle. The shot helped McIlroy win his match over Denny McCarthy (2-up) to move to 2-0-0 in the standings.

McIlroy’s shot really was a thing of beauty, as the ball hung up just enough to hit the green and roll perfectly to a stop within feet of the hole.
