Below you will find a link to a video of World No. 1 golfer Rory McIlroy taking his first swings since his victory at the PGA Championship. He was at the New Haven Open at Yale tennis tournament yesterday with his girlfriend, four-time defending champion Caroline Wozniacki, before heading to Long Island to play at Bethpage in the upcoming PGA event this weekend.

He visited the famous Yale Bowl, across the street from the Connecticut Tennis Center, to take a couple of swings with a driver…at a tennis ball. While the uprights were not in place, he picked out another target, the tunnel entrance to the field, and proceeded to hit the tennis ball through in just a few tries.

The video has been posted on New Haven Open social media channels (@newhavenopen) if you wish to retweet, share, or post the video.
