‘Scottie Take Notes’: Rory McIlroy Leaves Golf World in Awe After His 1-Hour Putting Session Goes Viral
Rory McIlroy struggled in the opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite a promising start with a birdie on the second hole, the Northern Irishman ended Thursday tied for 49. Carding one over par, it was very clear that he faced challenges trying to find his rhythm.
This, of course, meant something needed to change. And the World No. 2 understood that too and turned to some intense practice. His main focus was the greens, where he sunk putt after putt, driving fans online wild with each and every one of them!
Rory McIlroy flaunts his commitment to winning
The PGA Tour took to Instagram just hours ago to post a video of the 24-time PGA Tour winner practicing his putts for “nearly an hour on the greens” following his unfortunate Thursday finish. And Rors was not alone out there. He had help.
Looking to improve his technique and make sure he doesn’t miss anything on the greens, the golf pro seemingly reached out to Brad Faxon to help refine his putting. In the video, the tour veteran turned analyst was guiding the four-time major champion. He explained to him the appropriate pressure that should be applied and the correct shoulder motion to accompany it, and following that, McIlroy holed putt after putt.
