Armitage landed the shot in one of their first attempts and celebrated by ripping his shirt off in excitement, but it was only measured at 268 yards, short of the previous 273-yard world record. After numerous tries and smashing the windshield, the duo finally completed the feat with a 303 yard drive landing into the convertible traveling at 71 mph. Armitage kept his shirt on this time, as O’Neill celebrated by spinning donuts.
The previous record was set in 2012, by driver David Coulthard and pro golfer Jake Shepherd. With trick shots regularly going viral, it will be interesting to see who steps up to the tee next, attempting to beat the current 303-yard record.
