You can send it’: Rory McIlroy plotting to overpower old-school PGA Tour venue….. full details below…..
FLOURTOWN, Pa. — Nearly two months ago, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, Rory McIlroy was tinkering with the top of his golf bag so he could find a 3-wood to give him a little extra distance when the course took driver out of his hands.
Fast forward nine weeks (a stretch that included a dramatic Masters victory), and 3-wood is no longer a burning priority for McIlroy as he readies to take on one of the shortest courses on this year’s PGA Tour schedule.
McIlroy is the defending champion at this week’s Truist Championship, which is taking a one-year break from Quail Hollow Club to give Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon course its PGA Tour debut. At just 7,119 yards, Cricket is the fourth-shortest course on Tour this year, with a bevy of well-placed fairway bunkers and doglegs to navigate.
