VIDEO: Rory McIlroy Hit a 410 Yard Drive that Rolled in Front of a Cart
By Michael Shamburger
Rory McIlroy destroyed this drive on the par-5 12th hole at Austin Country Club during his opening match against Soren Kjeldsen in the WGC-Dell Match Play. The ball traveled so far that it crossed the cart path and while it was doing so, rolled under the front edge of a cart driving across the path.
Wow!

The drive went a measly 410 yards and was not only downwind, but on a hole that runs downhill. Still, McIlroy has been killing it off the tee.
That was the 1st 400+ yard drive this season for Rory. Dustin Johnson has the most so far this season, with 3.

After further review, the ball appeared to roll in front of the cart. The post and title have been updated to reflect that.
