Rory McIlroy may be renowned for his immense driving ability and being one of the longest hitters in the world, but how do his statistics compare to Joe Miller's?

McIlroy generates huge power and clubhead speed and is also consistent with his accuracy off the tee, averaging a total distance of just over 330 yards with a carry of around 313 yards through the air, according to Trackman.
