Gorilla Golf League champion Jordan Smith tees it up with Rory!

All of the 2018 Gorilla Golf League champion Jordan Smith’s dreams came true when he got the opportunity to tee it up next to the one and only Rory McIlroy as part of the Titleist Ultimate Fit at the DP World Tour Championship.

Smith won the competition after nailing a drive 362 yards in the final so was flown out to Dubai by Worldwide Golf via Business Class, provided accommodation and was given the VIP treatment with hospitality all week and a spot to play in the Sponsors Day the day after the tournament finished on the Earth course.

This is an experience that the young Yorkshireman will never forget.

Well done Jordan!
