Rory McIlroy won the Irish Open in about as much style as possible. For a minute there, it seemed like Russell Knox was going to snuff out the Northern Irishman's three-shot lead at the opening of the day as Knox closed out the gap by the 14th hole, but McIlroy had some pure fucking wonderment up his sleeves. Namely, this unbelievable second shot on the 18th hole—a par 5.253 yards. The shot of a champion. https://t.co/7EpcJKAbWH
