Rory McIlroy on Bryson DeChambeau’s added distance: ‘Crazy, nuts, unbelievable’

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – When it comes to the distance the modern professional hits the golf ball, Rory McIlroy is difficult to impress.

The 31-year-old has always ranked among the Tour’s longest players off the tee, but even he was impressed with Bryson DeChambeau’s performance last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

“He hit a couple drives on Sunday that [caddie Harry Diamond] and I just looked at each other, and we're like, holy sh*t, that was unbelievable,” said McIlroy, who was paired with DeChambeau on Sunday at Colonial.
