McIlroy Worried About Tiger
19 year old Rory McIlroy had a great win yesterday however his thoughts are on other things. He has his mind set on a potential tie with Tiger Woods however he is trying to block this out.
McIlroy now goes into the second round of the WGC Accenture Match Play and faces American Hunter Mahan. Tiger Woods is facing Tim Clark however the two will meet if victorious on Thursday.
McIlroy said, “That is a long way off at the minute.” He has taken the professional world by storm recently by shooting up to number 16. “I do not know how my match is going to go. I have to concentrate on that.”
This is the 19 years olds first professional tournament in the United States and he said, “And then Tiger has to get through his second round match as well. He seems to be playing pretty well. So we will see what happens.”
McIlroy must feel like he cannot put a shot wrong at the moment as last week he won the Dubai Desert Classic. This week he has made a great start in Arizona with a 2&1 defeat of South Africans Louis Oosthuizen.
Mahan said, “It should be exciting. I do not know much about him, but i know he is a great player, a young European player, probably going to be a Ryder Cupper very soon, so looking forward to it.”
