Rory McIlroy had stunned two-word reaction to iconic Tiger Woods moment at Tour Championship
With the Tour Championship upon us, there will be endless replays of Woods’ comeback victory in 2018.
It is considered one of the most enduring scenes in sport history – as an all-time icon walked among thousands of fans to pull off something nobody thought was possible.
The golf legend had not won on the PGA Tour for five years due to numerous injuries that doctors thought would end his career.
His stunning triumph at East Lake in 2018 was treated like a second coming – and preceded his remarkable Masters victory in 2019.
An interesting sub-plot to Woods’ Tour Championship victory was the presence of McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman, who grew up idolising Woods, was paired with the great man heading into the final round.
At three shots back, McIlroy found himself in a horrible position, knowing victory would ruin a story that all golf fans were rooting for.
