Rory McIlroy’s 345-yard shot beaten into second in US PGA long drive contest

"I'm a little bit gutted," McIlroy said with a smile.

Korea's Byeong Hun An came out on top in the long drive contest at the US PGA Championship, much to the irritation of Rory McIlroy.

All players had the opportunity to hit one tee shot on the first hole at Baltusrol on Tuesday, with the distance measured as long as the ball finished on the fairway.
