Rickie Fowler hit a 420-yard drive on the same hole here last year. But we don’t care. Rory’s drive on the 12th hole this morning at the WGC-Match Play has our attention.
Sure, the 12th hole at Austin Country Club is a downhill par 5. So Rory’s ball didn’t land 410. It rolled for days. And then it almost hit an unexpecting lady crossing a path, then underneath a cart – before finding the fairway.

How would you feel if you’re Kjeldsen: He hit it 332 yards and still was 78 yards behind Rory.
It didn’t matter in the end –  62-seeded Kjeldsen beat No.2 McIlroy 2 and 1 in the biggest upset of the day.
