Rory shot a first round of 66 in the Sunehanna Amateur.
From The Tribune Democrat:
For Hie, it was a memorable day for more than just his strong first round. The University of Southern California golfer and Los Angeles native, put four birdies on his card.
But his bogey-free round was threatened by the arrival of one VIP.
“I caught a glimpse of Arnold Palmer there and I started hitting these bad shots,” Hie said. “Luckily, I got up and down on those shots. I was hitting it real well, then I saw him and I was like, ‘Aw, shoot.’ I couldn’t really breathe out there for a while, but then I got back into my rhythm and made some shots.”
Hie had one of his best efforts in front of the golfing legend when he blasted a 30-yard shot out of a bunker at No. 14 to four feet, and then made the putt for par.
