Monty: Rory a PGA cert

The Scot believes the window of opportunity has closed for Woods in his bid to break Jack Nicklaus’ Major record of 18. But he believes that McIlroy may have a chance over the next five years to emerge as the man most likely to surpass the Golden Bear, especially if he produces his A game in Louisville.

“If Rory plays his best at Valhalla, there’s one winner and it’s the same guy that won the Open,” Montgomerie said. “If he plays the way that he can, he is better than everyone else.”
