Normally, when projectiles fly around Yankee Stadium it's because someone like Aaron Judge is responsible for hitting a home run, but on Tuesday, a different kind of athlete was teeing off.

Professional golfer Rory McIlroy was in town hitting golf balls around the stadium, and boy, was he ever good.

McIlroy was attempting to hit FedEx targets as part of a charitable event benefiting St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and apparently hit one on his first try, according to Cut4.
