Watch: McIlroy smokes 393-yard drive at the Travelers Championship
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
The TPC River Highlands course was hit by rain this week, preventing players from getting a lot of roll on their tee shots at the Travelers Championship.
However, that didn't stop Rory McIlroy from unloading the biggest drive of the week at the 477-yard fourth hole on Friday. The world No. 3 smashed a 393-yard drive, leaving him just an 84-yard approach shot into the par 4.

The Northern Irishman was unable to take advantage of the massive tee shot, making just a par.
