Video: Gerry McIlroy, not clumsy either…

Associated once again with his illustrious son, Gerry Mcllroy, index 2 please, distinguished himself during the first round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. On the very difficult Carnoustie course, he made a magnificent chip-in on hole no. 7 to save par. The Northern Irish pair ended their day with a score of -5 and a 125th place on the leaderboard…

Damn you can’t lie! Gerry McIlroyassociated like every year since 2009 with his champion son, Rory, at the Dunhill Links Championshipwas able to admire the quality of his short game on the course of Carnoustiefar from being the simplest of the Scottish triptych (with Kingsbarns and the Old Course de St Andrews).

Like this chip-in in the box on the par 4 of hole n°7 at Carnoustie, one of the layouts forming part of the rotation of The Open. Stunning ! Remember that the current world No. 3 has finished second three times in this XXL tournament, in 2009, in 2011 and in 2014 (4th during his last visit in 2022). In 2019, father and son finished 2nd in the team tournament.
