Rory McIlroy’s dad dazzles with an impressive chip shot at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship
The 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is underway at three iconic and beautiful golf courses – Old Course at St. Andrews, Carnoustie, and Kingsbarn. This year’s edition of the event features some of the best professional golfers and celebrities who have teamed up with them.
However, in Rory McIlroy’s case, the Irishman teamed up with his dad, Gerry, who dazzled with an impressive chip shot in Round 1 of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. On the par-4 7th hole, Gerry McIlroy hit a brilliant chip shot from outside the green, and the ball found its way into the hole.
Gerry’s chip shot on the 7th hole also received appreciation from the commentator, who exclaimed, “Oh Gerry, what a shot!” After hitting the shot, Gerry was seen sporting a smile, happy with his effort. Gerry and Rory McIlroy made their debut at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in 2009.
