Two stalwarts of the golfing world were seen speeding on Tuesday. But surprisingly this time it was not on the driving range. To everyone’s surprise, it was on the racing tracks sponsored by BMW!

The golfers were finding the new found speed thrilling as they hopped in the car for one quick lap. Watch as the thrilling need for speed gave them an adrenaline rush never experiences before.

A Shift from Greens to the Tracks

Golfers Shane Lowry and Matt Fitzpatrick, took up a daring adventure at a timed autocross event. Autocross is a simplistic racing course that presents participants with a standing start, requiring them to accelerate as swiftly as possible and come to a halt near the finish line at a designated blue box.

The lap times of the golfers were recorded on a speed board, with the fastest lap ultimately bagging the win. Shane Lowry, sporting his classic beard and dressed in black, admitted to feeling a surge of nerves before the race.
