Jim Furyk nearly makes double eagle at British Open

We keep hearing how easy the four par-5s are at Royal Liverpool, and we saw Rory McIlroy pull off that ridiculous eagle-eagle finish on the final two par-5s on Saturday. But no one has hit as good a shot into one of these par-5s than Jim Furyk, who was one lucky bounce off the flagstick away from a double eagle.

Sergio has a hole-out from the fairway earlier this week, but I’d argue, given the distance and fairway wood, that Furyk’s is the approach of the week.
