Masters champion Rory McIlroy joined “The Tonight Show” and took on host Jimmy Fallon in a chipping contest.

Rory McIlroy still has his 9-year-old touch.
McIlroy, who famously appeared on an Irish talk show in 1999 and successfully chipped balls into a washing machine, again took on the challenge Thursday in New York.
The reigning Masters champion, sporting his size 38 green jacket, joined “The Tonight Show” to discuss his completion of the career Grand Slam with his victory last month at Augusta National.
He and host Jimmy Fallon then competed in a washing-machine chipping-off which, unsurprisingly, McIlroy won handily.
