Tiger Woods giving a real threat to Rory McIlroy for the Masters
Tiger Woods, the winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is giving a direct threat to Rory McIlroy, for the Masters.
The 36-year-old American professional golf player is the proud winner of the PGA staged event and is now giving a warning message to the Northern Irish McIlroy.
Woods has won the title after almost three years. He impressed all the spectators and other field members after a long time. Now, he is confident to win more titles in the current year.
He is in form now and has displayed some remarkable performances since January. He is heading to the first major of the year and is hoping to continue his leading scores there as well.
“I am excited about the Masters, there’s no doubt,” said Woods “It’s always fun to get there and play and I’m looking forward to the momentum I’ve built up here”.
He continued, “I still need some work, and it’s going to be good to get a week off and work on a few things”
He desires to win his 15th major this year and for that purpose, he is on a lay-off period and is practising most of the time.
He will be missing the upcoming PGA staged event of the Shell Houston Open at the Redstone Golf Club Tournament Course, Humble, Texas.
He added, “I’ve won here at Bay Hill on a few occasions going into Augusta which has always been a good feeling.
“I still have some work to do but I’m excited about the things that we have accomplished. I was able to hit some really good shots, the last two days and that’s a very good sign going into Augusta”.
After such an appealing victory, McIlroy is worried about his expectations from the Masters.
The 22-year-old Northern Irish professional is also aiming to be the proud winner of the Masters in the current year.
However, the improved and leading performance from Woods, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is a real threat for McIlroy.
The competition is tough and it is highly expected that the enormous scoring of Woods may become the biggest hurdle for McIlroy.
In order to lead, McIlroy has to be more impressive and has to deliver his best against the other field members as well.
