Watch: McIlroy takes on island green with every club
The island green on the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass can be tough to hit under normal conditions. But what if you're asked to do it with a driver?Rory McIlroy took on the full-bag challenge recently, with The Players now only a few weeks away as it returns to its former date in mid-March. McIlroy stood on the pro tee and took on the 137-yard shot with every club in his arsenal outside of his putter. The results were somewhat surprising, as he found the green with just four of his 13 shots: pitching wedge, 9-iron, 7-iron and, perhaps most impressively, 3-wood."That actually wasn't a very good effort," McIlroy said.While it's unlikely he'll need the 3-wood for No. 17 next month, it wouldn't be unheard of for players to turn to a 7-iron should the brisk winds kick up as they sometimes did when the tournament was held in March until 2006. Check out full video of McIlroy's efforts below:

Only five players have ever won the career Grand Slam, and none have accomplished the feat since Tiger Woods captured the claret jug at St. Andrews in 2000. But Spieth slayed a number of demons with his ability to rebound down the stretch at Royal Birkdale, and it's likely that he won't be stuck on three career majors for very long.

This is the fact. The U.S. Amateur was very highly regarded. The shift to professional majors didn't happen until about the time Tiger came on the scene and I don't think it had anything to do with Tiger as such, but IMHO with maybe some lessening of its stature (not saying there should have been), but who knows.
