Gabby Herzig admits she's never seen anyone do what Aaron Rai was doing on the range at Shinnecock

Aaron Rai stunned the golfing world last month when he reigned supreme at the PGA Championship at Aronimink.

Rai produced some truly sensational golf on Sunday at Aronimink, playing his final 10 holes in five-under par to win his maiden major title.

Now the 31-year-old Englishman will attempt to win his second major championship in a row at Shinnecock Hills.

Aaron Rai‘s game should be perfectly suited to Shinnecock Hills and it really should surprise nobody if he contends this week at the US Open.

Rai received huge praise for his PGA Championship win, with many of his fellow pros raving about the Englishman’s attitude and character.

He is one of the hardest workers in the game and often goes about things very much his own way.

Aaron Rai spotted doing something unusual on the range at Shinnecock

Rai has been meticulously preparing for the US Open this week, just like he always does for every tournament he plays in.

Gabby Herzig, a writer for The Athletic, has been out on property at Shinnecock Hills.

Herzig was on the driving range on Wednesday, and she noticed Rai doing something incredibly unusual.

While Rai practicing his putting on the driving range at Shinnecock Hills seems unusual, there was clearly a method behind his madness.

There will be a lot of players forced into putting from a long way off the greens this week.

The vast majority of greens at Shinnecock Hills have false fronts.

Any shots that are not perfectly struck to the correct distance will more often than not end up off the green.

So Rai practicing his lag-putting on the Shinnecock Hills driving range may well actually serve him really well this week at the US Open.
