When it comes to hitting long drives off the tee, Rory McIlroy is regarded as one of the best in the golfing world. However, a recent video captured a jaw-dropping moment as Scottish amateur Ruben Lindsey showed the seasoned professional how it’s done.
During a friendly long drive competition, Ruben Lindsey, a talented Scottish amateur golfer, managed to outdrive the renowned Rory McIlroy in a stunning fashion. The competition, captured in a video shared by NUCLR GOLF, showcased Lindsey’s remarkable ability to hit massive tee shots that left spectators and even McIlroy in awe.
As the video begins, it quickly becomes evident that Lindsey possesses exceptional power and precision off the tee. He launched a colossal drive that soared an incredible 374 yards, with an astounding ball speed of 195 MPH. This remarkable feat left McIlroy momentarily speechless, as he watched in amazement.
Being no stranger to long drives himself, McIlroy attempted to match Lindsey’s prodigious shot. Demonstrating his competitive spirit, McIlroy spoke up before taking his swing, expressing his desire to be within 30 yards of Lindsey’s drive. Although McIlroy hit an impressive shot of his own, with a ball speed of 188 MPH, he fell short by 22 yards, finishing with a distance of 352 yards.
It is evident from the video that McIlroy took the long drive competition in good spirits, playfully acknowledging and admiring Lindsey’s tremendous achievement. In addition to the fun element, McIlroy’s participation in such competitions serves the purpose of honing his skills ahead of the upcoming Genesis Scottish Open, a crucial tournament leading up to the Open Championship, the final major of the season.
Highlighting an interesting aspect of this competition, Lindsey enjoyed home course advantage, hailing from Ayr, Scotland. Although his comfort on the course may have played a role in his exceptional drive, it remains noteworthy to witness anyone, even an amateur, surpass McIlroy in distance off the tee.
At just 19 years of age, Ruben Lindsey has already made his mark in the golfing world. Initially committed to playing at Auburn, Lindsey made the decision to transfer to the University of Houston after a year. This impressive accomplishment in the long drive competition with McIlroy further solidifies his potential as a rising star.
