Rory Mcilroy sees 1 true in harsh conditions in the golden age course

Furintown, without. – Rory Mcilroy exploded the driver throughout a golden age Thursday at the 2025th Truist Championship. For Mcilroy and much of the signature event field, it was a driver’s holiday in the Wissahickon course in the designed AW Tillinghast Philadelphia Cricket Club in round 1.

like My colleague James Colgan wrote At the beginning of this week, a startling question Surrounded Pro Golf Return to Philadelphia area: Will they do what makes these old school masterpieces special issues when facing today’s modern technology?

Philly Cricket Club is the type of course that the best players in the world MUST Play a world far from the cookie cutting courses that PGA Tour usually plays. But with only one shade over 7,100 yards, the Philly Cricket Club, formed in 1922, is unprotected without strong and fast conditions. Even then, she does not have many teeth for the best players of the game armed with today’s equipment.

On Friday, with the blowing of wind and the falling rain, PGA Tour best saw another side of the Philly Cricket Club. With the ball that was not flying almost far, Mcilroy, a loud supporter of the golf ball rolling, better realized how the creation of Tilinghast was intended to be attacked.

“Absolutely. It is a Little More Strategic,” Mcilroy Said AFTER AFTING A Second-Round Three-Under 67. Golf Ball JUST A LITTLE SHORTER, THIS COURSE WOULD BE AWESOME.

“It would be amazing to be able to play and like this like the architect wanted you to play them.”

On Thursday, Mcilroy hit his car in the second second of the second 373 yard on the way to make a light bird. On Friday, with the wind blowing in another direction and the ball jumped back, Mcilroy’s car went 314. A second slow shot found the bunker, and he did Bogey.

The return of the USA and R&A-which comes in 2028-Calling for the longest hittings in tours to lose 13-15 yards at the direction distance, with average pro-losing 9-11 yards. Mcilroy, who would be in the first category, has been a supporter of the return plan for the long -term durability of the game. This will also help turn some teeth into golf cathedrals.

Rolling back the ball would make theoretically places to play places like the Philly Cricket as it was thought and not allow them to hammer the driver passing the course protection.

Justin Thomas, who also shot three under Friday and is associated with Mcilroy at 7 under, showed Par-4 10 as a hole where the conditions changed the strategy.

“Just just the ball went nowhere when it is,” Thomas said. “A hole like 10 is a good example. We’re beating sand wedge, the wedge of the gap in yesterday, and I hit a car as good as I could and hit a 6-hook quite good in today.

“Strongly to come, again, with softness, the course cannot really show his teeth too much. But the weather like this finally makes the game a little more-is more difficult to make birds.

In round 1, Thomas hit his car at no. 10 329 yard. His promotion on Friday went only 278. He did both days.

Sepp Straka, which on average only 295 yards away from Tee compared to Mcilroy’s 317, is playing the course in the way tilinghast predicted because straight road bunkers decreased between 300 and 310 yards are a factor for it.

For others, they are not.

“This is definitely a course that many of those bunkers, as I said, are 300 carried. If you are keeping it over 300, you can get them out of the game,” said Straka, who lowers two shots at 10 under the underlying, said Friday. “I feel like playing it as it is thought to be played, but for many boys, it is a bit of a penalty from tee is finally removed.”

Thomas and Straka both implied the true identity of the Philly Cricket. It is a penalty course outside the complex and complex greens, where making birds should be difficult.

This was not the case on Thursday when 10 players broke the course record and the average note was about 66. Approximate conditions gave the course some teeth on Friday, and the average note was transmitted to about 70.

Philly Cricket Club is, use Mcilroy’s words, “awesome”. Likes as a Renaissance painting carved on the outskirts of Pennsylvania. It is a wide-ranging greens and a wide range of holes, including a Par-3-Oborri Par-3 and a PAR-4 362-Obligation, must be a challenging canvas for the best in the world to paint masterpieces, not just catch it and tear it down.

On Friday, we got a brief appearance of the Real Philly Cricket club – a wonder of the golden age with questions to ask if the players do not have the answers before they came out.
