McIlroy is widely considered the hottest prospect in golf, and rightly so. He has all the attributes and more |
| |
potential than one Mr Woods showed at the same age. It is only a matter of time until he breaks through with a win |
| |
in elite company. |
| |
|
|
He hits the ball a long way which is a necessity if you are going to win at the Blue Monster and has a great record |
| |
on par 5s in general and on this course. |
| |
|
|
Played well in this tournament last season finishing 20th after an over par weekend finish. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
He is relatively lightly raced so far this season (unlike many of his main rivals), picking and choosing his |
| |
tournaments to ensure ultimate preparation. This will be one that he is targeting particularly with a game that suits |
| |
and a good record on the course. |
| |
|
|
He has played solidly this season is undoubtedly ready to catch fire. With the pressure currently off and eyes |
| |
elsewhere in terms of the European contingent, this could well be the week. If it is, you won't see 25/1 again for |
| |
months. Take it. |
