Rory McIlroy made 55 straight 10-foot putts practicing at the Tour Championship

We’re talking about practice, but this is still pretty impressive stuff from Rory McIlroy.

Early in the broadcast of the final round of the TOUR Championship, Golf Channel decided to completely ignore the players out on the course and opted to show Rory McIlroy monotonously rolling in putts on the practice putting green. It was pretty surreal, odd, and a bit too much as Rich Lerner narrated and counted each putt as it poured in the cup.

But as the streak kept getting higher and higher, the coverage quickly became more dramatic as we waited for one to lip out or miss the edge. It didn’t happen until his 56th try. During a normal practice session up on the green right before a round, a player probably wouldn’t take that many putts from the exact same spot. But Rory couldn’t step away until one missed, much like a free-throw shooter or three-point shooter during pre game warm-ups.

Frank Nobilo estimated the distance was somewhere around six feet, but the length was later clarified to around 10 feet. As Nobilo pointed out, the average made putts from that distance on Tour is 38 percent. Now this was in practice without any pressure and with a putt that didn’t appear to have much slope or break. But 55 in a row is still a remarkable streak from the No. 1 player in the world.
