This putt from Rory will show you just how fast the greens are for the U.S. Open

I've watched this four times, and I still cannot believe what I'm seeing.
Rory McIlroy was practicing on one of the Oakmont greens earlier this week when he hit a putt towards what appears to be the back edge of the green. The ball came all the way back to the front, hopped over a fake hole -- which he presumably put down -- and then trickled all the way down to the real hole for the day. Then it dropped.
How are players going to break 80 much less 70 this week with green speeds like this?
Also, how many times out of 1,000 do you think McIlroy could do that? Too bad the pin was in. That's a penalty stroke in his money game with Justin Thomas. Probably cost him some dough.
