There are very few sights like a Rory McIlroy charge.
The county Down man might divide opinion when he's specifically trying not to divide opinion over his allegiance to either Ireland or Great Britain but there are some things that aren't in doubt: Rory McIlroy is good at golf. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/818050428025917440 The former world number one is in Guateng and he's decided to do what he decides to do on some day 3 Saturdays: turn it on and rip through golf courses for fun. He hit an eagle at the seventh hole and his charge continued up the leaderboard.
And, yep, it was a par four.
This is what Rory McIroy does with his approach shots.

157 yards from the pin and about an eight-foot back spin.
McIlroy has hit his stride and it started on Friday when he went on an incredible eight-hole stretch that included an eagle, six birdies and no missed putts.
Now, he's just making magic happen out there with his control of the ball.Explore more on these topics:
