Rory shows he has eye of Tiger

Rory McIlroy flees from comparisons with Tiger Woods but the world number one isn’t just playing like the old Tiger, he sounds like him too.

As the 14-time Major winner limped out of the WGC-Cadillac Championship with a left Achilles tendon injury that will fuel speculation about his long-term future just a month before the Masters, McIlroy produced a stunning display reminiscent of Woods in his prime.

Perhaps the only difference between the two is that McIlroy didn’t turn his Sunday charge into a victory, but the 22-year-old still showed plenty of Tiger traits as he grabbed third place before returning to Augusta in search of Masters redemption.
