Kiawah Island, S.C. -- He's a dozen majors behind, but Rory McIlroy is also one major closer to Tiger Woods than he was a week ago.
And he is already drawing the inevitable comparisons.
"I've won my second major championship at the same age as he did," McIlroy said, although that wasn't exactly accurate. He is, in fact, three months younger than Woods was...

Hopefully we can see Rory square off against...

My first thought was, this course looks ripe for the taking. And it delivered. Furthermore...
