SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- The par-5 17th at Baltusrol Golf Club is a terror. It measures 650-plus yards and only one pro, John Daly during the 1993 PGA Championship, has hit the green in two shots during a tournament. Others have tried — GOLF.com camped at the 17th on Tuesday to see how the pros are playing it — but with no luck.

I'd Take This Over the M4 GTS
BMW's New M5 Is Ultra-Exclusive And Packs An Insane 600 Horsepower
The
20” forged wheels are the first of the upgrades on the package. The car
is also lowered 0.4 inches and rests on stiffer dampers. Track prowess
is exacerbated by an active M differential that’s been updated to ensure
proper traction given the power upgrade. Even the M Dynamic mode gets a
software update to make the Dynamic Stability Control system play nice
with the special edition model, but carbon ceramic brakes come standard
in case the extra power proves to be too much.
Only 50 will be made so even if you had the money it'd be tough to get one.
Those
who were itching to write a check for an exclusive $130,000 BMW were
left disappointed when it was announced that all 700 units of the magical water-injected
M4 GTS were sold out. Thankfully BMW still wants fans to write it
checks, so it put its M Division engineers back to work to cook up the
hottest “high performance business sedan” to appease wealthy buyers who
enjoy bragging about their cars over cigars. Dubbed the Pure Metal
Silver Limited Edition, the car is based on the M5 sedan.
In
this special guise, the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 gets a 40
horsepower and 16 lb-ft of torque boost over its standard sibling to
yield 600 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This unit sits in front of
a seven-speed M transmission with two clutches enabling the transfer of
kinetic energy. BMW estimates that the power boost will get the lardy
sedan from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, 0.1 seconds quicker than the
everyman M5. If the driver doesn’t relent, this M5 will keep on
rampaging up to 190 mph, an increase of 35 mph over the normal M5’s top
speed thanks to the M Driver’s Package that comes standard on this
special edition. Also included in the price premium is an enhanced
version of the M Competition package for track days.
