Rory McIlroy Wins the CJ Cup at The Summit…

McIlroy is one of the best drivers of the golf ball on the planet, which was on display at Summit where he ranked second in strokes gained/off-the-tee, picking up more than five shots on the field. He also was fourth in driving distance at more than 320 yards per measured drive.

In other words, this was a different McIlroy than the one we saw at the Ryder Cup just a few weeks ago. This was way more like the McIlroy we’re used to seeing on the PGA Tour.
