Major champion and former winning US Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger believes that though Rory McIlory has attained the superstar status, the world number one can never beat legendary American golfer Tiger Woods in the game.
Ahead of the Augusta Masters, which starts on Thursday, Azinger said that he didn’t think McIlroy could ever beat Woods, adding that former’s level of domination was something no one ever saw coming or expected to ever see again, Sport24 reported.
Calling the comparison as ‘unfair bar’ on McIlroy, the 1993 PGA Championship winner said that McIlroy was rapidly becoming the most famous guy in the game, maintaining that he is a common guy that could do uncommon things.
Four-time major winner McIlory will head into the Augusta Masters looking for a career grand slam as winning the title would put him in an elite club of stalwarts, which includes Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Woods. (ANI)
