Rory McIlroy shot a third-round 7-under 65, and is just one off the lead after 54 holes of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. These three shots, via videos from the European Tour, pretty much sum up Rory’s round (and game) in a nutshell.
Bing. Bang. Boom.
World No. 11? Please, son.
1. RORY’S POWER
On the par-4 11th hole Rory smokes a tee shot that is described as “an absolute monster.” We agree!
290 yard carry over a bunker?

2. RORY’S PRECISION
On the par-4 14th hole Rory needs two shots to go 490 yards to four-feet of the pin. Sick stuff.
Look out ?

3. RORY’S TOUCH
After a bogey on the par-3 15th, Rory makes up for it with a chip-in birdie on the par-4 17th hole, and the Rory Roar!
