Rory McIlroy hit a 436-yard bomb on Thursday at the Euro Tour’s Scottish Open, driving the green that was occupied by the playing group in front of him. As a comparison, no player on the PGA Tour has hit a 400-yard drive this season. (The longest belongs to Webb Simpson’s 397-yard poke at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.)

The best part of the clip below is the camera focusing on a landing area at around 320 yards, then confusedly panning and panning and panning to find the ball. You can almost feel the cameraman’s disbelief when McIlroy’s shot is spied trickling onto the green.

Sure, the hole was playing downwind on a notoriously breezy links course, but that’s like Usain Bolt running a 9.50 and saying “yeah, but there was a tailwind.”

McIlroy two-putted for a birdie three, en route to a course-record 64 at Royal Aberdeen.

After the round, he said he joked with Ian Poulter, who was in the group ahead, about the shot.

“I told Poulter it was a 3-wood.”
