Video: Rory McIlroy sinks remarkable 44-ft eagle putt to seal place in match play finals

It's in the cup

Ben Kiely

McIlroy secured his place in the match play finals with one hell of an eagle.

The Down native dropped a monstrous 44-foot putt on the final hole to defeat Jim Furyk and march on to the finals.

McIlroy was trailing by a stroke on the 16th hole but two consecutive birdies followed by that magnificent eagle was enough to see him through to the final stage against Gary Woodland.

Check out the gargantuan eagle that got him there in the video embedded below.
