British Open 2025: Fans can try Rory McIlroy's famed washing machine chipping drill
Golf fans will never (ever) be able to hit a golf ball like Rory McIlroy, but they can at least try to practice chipping like the five-time major champ this week. Well, the way he practiced long (long) before he was ever even a one-time major champ.
