It's just a practice round today at the Ryder Cup at Hazeltine in Chaska so you can take as many swings as you want. . . and patrons can take as many pictures as they want at any time. A fun day.

Looking every bit like the 10 million bucks he won just two days ago at the FedEx Cup, Rory McIlroy chatted with the patrons, then stepped into the number nine tee box and striped one right down the middle, farther than anyone else in the group. It apparently wasn't good enough, he took a Mulligan.
The second drive was as perfect as the first. The camera position didn't change and Rory's form is so perfect and repeatable that the first swing is almost indiscernible from the second in the two photos above. (You have to look at the people in the background to see that it is actually two different photos taken a full minute apart.)
The rest of the team members came by, we got tons of photos and they took tons of shots, focusing mostly on the good old guys like Phil and Sergio and Lee Westwood. We also spotted Tiger and Bubba, both zipping around in official carts, as befits their Ryder Cup office.
