Rory McIlroy Set To Become Second-Youngest World No. 1 But He’s Far From Seve’s Class.
Rory McIlroy may be hoping to become the second youngest ever World No. 1 if he captures this week’s Honda Classic but he’s light years away from being in the same class as Seve Ballesteros.
In the absence of Luke Donald, McIlroy is out to make the most of his opportunities after falling at the final hurdle in last week’s WGC – Accenture Match Play Championship.
If McIlroy is successful in driving away with victory in Florida he will not only become the youngest official World No. 1 (since ...
Niall Turner Looking To Follow In Darren Clarke’s Thailand Footsteps.

The 27-year old Cork golfer is among just 72 players teeing up on Thursday in the 36-hole International qualifier over two days of the Amata Spring course in Bangkok.
It was just over two months ago Darren Clarke the reigning Open Champion competed over the course that hosted the Asian Tour season-ending Thailand Golf Championship.

Martin Laird Better Prepared For Tiger Woods ‘Insanity’.
Martin Laird will be hoping to be better prepared for any further Tiger Woods ‘insanity’ when he returns to Augusta National in April.
Scotland’s leading world ranked golfer made his Masters debut last year and it could not have been a bigger introduction to the year’s traditional Major than playing the final day in the company of the 14-Major winning Woods.
Woods and Laird started the final day at five under par in very hot and humid conditions but after the pair shook hands ...

Questions Again Asked Of McIlroy After His Arizona Demise.
Questions are again being asked of Rory McIlroy’s ability to close out tournaments after he failed to deliver victory in the WGC – Accenture Match Play Championship.
McIlroy brushed aside some of the best names in golf and none better than current World No. 3 Lee Westwood (3 & 1) to reach the final on the Dove Mountain course.
But when it mattered the reigning U.S. Open champion was comprehensively beaten in the final by American Hunter Mahan who collected the $US 1.4m first ...
Woods Shown The Arizona Exit Gate By Watney.
All hope Tiger Woods had of capturing a fourth WGC – Accenture Match Play Championship was snuffed out on day two by compatriot Nick Watney.
Watney, who defends his Cadillac Championship next fortnight, showed Woods the Arizona exit gates with a 1up victory on the Dove Mountain course.
A day earlier Woods had hung on a day earlier to defeat Spain’s Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano but there was no denying Watney on day two.
Woods departure will surely make a dent in Arizona crowd figures while ...
