They say “drive for display and residence for the dough” but Rory Mcilroy is certainly challenging that narrative Saturday IN Master.
Starting the third round in Augusta National In six under two blows from the 36 holes of Justin Rose, Mcilroy blew his opening shot 331 yards, over the bunker on the right side of the road, and then rose up and down from 104 yards for an open bird.
He then struck another Gargjan Tee shot in the first, again flying the bunker before hitting his second on the green and entered Eagle to get the full lead.
In pairing after him, Bryson Dechambeau buried a 45-meter bird blow at 1, but Mcilroy’s chip only happened a few moments later to steal attention, sending roar all over Augusta National.
It all started with the Mcilroy monster shot in no. 1, 16 yard longer than anyone else on Saturday. Jim Nantz of CBS initially seemed anxious after Mcilroy Tee shot started directly on the bunker on the right side of the road.
“That’s in a worrying line,” Nantz said.
But much about the surprise of CBS Cameman, Tee Ball of Mcilroy flew the bunker with about 10-15 yards, leaving only Wedge Flip in Green (the car was initially mistakenly reported in 371 yards). For his loan, Mcilroy seemed sure that the bunker was not in the game, returning and immediately grabbing his finger from the ground.
Of the 104 yard, Mcilroy opened its second beyond Pin and rotated it again in eight meters, where he would screw the stroke on the right side for a bird to climb inside one of the royalty.
Then at no. 2, where Mcilroy had fought with his two preliminary shootings this week, losing one in the right bunker and the other in the right trees, Mcilroy flew the bunker this time, taking its back and releasing it, 369 yards from tee.
