Many golfers go abroad early to prepare for the British Open. Rory McIlroy? He just has to go behind his house.

In a video interview with BBC, the 22-year old, who recently won the U.S. Open at Congressional by eight shots, showed off his spectacular backyard practice facility at his Northern Ireland home.

The highlight is a replica of the famed "Road Hole" bunker at St. Andrews. McIlroy says he likes using the pot bunker to ready himself for the Open Championship. He then drops a couple of balls, jumps down into the sand and quickly hits two superb shots all while wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
