Tiger praises McIlroy’s opening round Posted: 16 Jul 2010 02:01 AM PDT When Rory McIlroy completed his superb opening round at St Andrews yesterday, you just know that at the back of his mind he was wondering what World No.1 Tiger Woods made of his round. There are a select few sportsmen who see their opinion on just about anything published across online betting sources and Woods is one of them. So, what did he make of McIlroy's performance yesterday? Well, he says that it was 'a pretty impressive round' from the youngster who did extremely well to 'make a couple of birdies late when the wind started to pick up'. Woods then advised McIlroy to 'keep doing what he's doing' as the tournament moves forward. He did warn the Northern Irishman that there is a 'long way to go' though and hinted that a lot will change between now and Sunday afternoon. As for his own form, those who bet on Golf tournaments should note that Woods was relatively pleased. He admits that he feels 'in good shape' and that he was relieved to take 'advantage of the course' when it became essential to him staying in touch with the leaders. Woods then went on to say how he is feeling in his best form for a few months. He says that he is 'hitting shots I haven't hit in a long time' and that his game is building with a long way to go at St Andrews. Overall, Woods respects what McIlroy has done so far, but he is backing himself to overtake him at some stage and go on to win his third successive title at the British Open.
