- Rory McIlroy is making his debut at the Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club, California.
- The world number two is playing with Hideki Matsuyama and Matt Kuchar.
Rory has made a strong start at Riviera, the Northern Irishman is -2 after 3 holes and found his feet early with this sumptuous 3-wood approach. Rory loves soft conditions because he has the ability to hit long and high; that was nearly 600 yards of total carry in just two shots. Unreal!
Rory McIlroy just reached the 589-yard 11th in two shots. https://t.co/BdfkPgS712

This is one of the hardest course on tour. Bubba Watson showed us what kind of contours the players are forced to deal with.
