McIlroy's some talent

Teenage sensation Rory McIlroy has certainly taken a lot praise and plaudits in recent months and who could seemingly blame them.
The sheer fact that the Northern Ireland youngster is already ranked 16 in the world and recently won his first title at the Dubai Desert Classic symbolises the essence of the next big thing in golf.
Tiger Woods has even added himself to that list of plaudits as he claims the McIlroy “has all the components to be the best player in the world.”
This praise is no mean feat indeed, Woods tends to be anything par jealous. Its rather disappointment that when McIlroy heads towards his prime, Tiger will be looking at retirement. It would be an intriguing clash that would elude many golf addicts.
Expectation can be a cruel and tainted subject, so McIlroy will need time to become a better all round player. He hits the ball well and his putting is up there with the best and if he can work tirelessly on the other attributes he will soon become one of the world’s best.
Colin Montgomerie must be excited to have him at his disposal for the next round of Ryder Cup action.
The modest and determination of the youngster is evident as he even declined an offer that most golfers would jump at. When Tiger gives you a personal invite participate in his Target World Challenge, few would decline. McIlroy did. He wanted to work on his card and the European Open, in his eyes, was too crucial to miss.
The future looks bright for this young man.
