Tiger tips McIlroy for World No1....

Tiger Woods tipped 19 year old Rory McIlroy to become World No1,even though he hasn't played with him yet! I have watched him on TV and he seems to have an all round game,and i am led to believe that he work's hard on the practice area,which is always a good sign that he is hungry.
Phil Mickleson jumped back to World No2 behind Tiger with a 1 shot victory in the WGC CA Championship at Doral,Miami over Nick Watney in a very tense shoot out between both players.Mickleson finished 19 under par to claim his first World Championship victory.
McIlroy could only manage 2 birdies all day,even though he gave himself lots of chances.A double bogey at the short 4th,left him out of the title race.A bogey at the last after finding water,left him one over par 73.It was the first time in 3 tournaments in the USA that he was over par.
His 9under par total dropped him down to 17th in the World rankings.He finished in joint 20th position along with fellow Irish man Padraig Harrington.
Rory can now enjoy a couple of weeks back home in Holywood near Belfast hanging out with his mates and no doubt a few sessions with his coach Michael Bannon,before they both head to Augusta for the first Major of the year.....
