Rory McIlroy might have been going through a rough time recently considering his public breakup with former fiancé Caroline Wozniacki, but now it seems he’s channeled that frustration to make himself a better golfer.
The 25-year-old belted a near super-human 436-yard drive at the Scottish Open Thursday. The drive was so surprising that the camera man couldn’t come anywhere close to finding the ball, shooting about 100 yards short of where McIlroy’s ball actually landed.
No other golfer has had a drive of over 400 yards this season.

The funny thing is that it appears Rory has been emulating Happy all this time!
