McIlroy wins Honda and becomes golf's new No. 1
22.05.12
Rory McIlroy, the new No. 1 player in golf, is not easily rattled.
He didn't see a scoreboard in the final round of the Honda Classic until he walked onto the eighth green, looked at the large video screen to his left and saw that Tiger Woods — who started the day nine shots behind — already was tied for fourth, four shots behind.
McIlroy buried a 10-foot putt for his first birdie of the day.
The pressure of trying to win and reach No. 1 in the world didn't really hit him until he was lining up a putt on the 13th green at PGA National, his concentration shattered by a cheer that could be heard a mile away from the 18th green. It was so loud that McIlroy not only knew what it was for — an eagle on the 18th green — but who it was for.
