The PGA Championship had its traditional long drive competition on Tuesday during practice rounds. Rory McIlroy leads early on with a 345-yard bomb after which he playfully flexed at the crowd.
Last year, Anirban Lahiri won the long drive contest with a 327-yard drive, and the year before that, Louis Oosthuizen took it with a 340-yard drive. So McIlroy's 345-yard poke has a real chance of standing up throughout the day.
You can watch it in slo-mo here (starts at the 1:00 mark).
