‘Winning is hard – Tiger just made it look easy’

Jason Day wondered whether the long shadow of Tiger Woods was to blame for the back-nine disasters that struck Rory McIlroy and the rest in the Honda Classic.

But the Australian is certainly not questioning McIlroy’s ability to perform under the gun and reckons the Holywood star is on track for a massive year.

“You guys have been blessed seeing Tiger Woods win for so many years and being No 1 for I think 12 years now that people in general think it’s easy to win,” Day said at Trump National Doral ahead of this week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship.
