No one is on the same level as Rory McIlroy when it comes to driving distance at the U.S. Open — not even Bryson DeChambeau can compete.
Rory McIlroy is known for being a long hitter off the tee. But what he is doing at the 2023 U.S. Open is eye-popping. He has been absolutely insane off the tee on the first hole, averaging 382 yards through the first threes rounds of the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club.
To start his third round, McIlroy launched it 388 yards with a 333-yard carry. He is on another planet when he has that driver in his hand.

Ohtani’s solo smash also marked the 150th home run of his career, moving the two-time All-Star into elite company in the record books.
The Pittsburgh Pirates had an odd moment happen during their drive from Chicago to Milwaukee when their bus driver was arrested for driving under the influence.
On Thursday night, the Pirates lost to the Cubs 7-2. After the game, they hopped aboard some buses for the relatively quick drive to Milwaukee where they have a weekend series with the Brewers.
Making that drive given quicker was a police escort.
However, it was during that police escort that Illinois State Troppets noticed something unusual about one of the buses.
