McIlroy successfully defended his title at Augusta National earlier this month, edging out world number one Scottie Scheffler by one shot. He experienced a similarly close call in his maiden victory, when the Northern Irishman defeated Justin Rose in a playoff.
In light of his latest success at The Masters, McIlroy has now been praised heavily by Ian Woosnam, who triumphed at Augusta back in 1991. Ian Woosnam suggests Rory McIlroy is the best European golfer ever Woosnam said of McIlroy on the EU Legends Tour’s YouTube : “He could quite easily be the best golfer from Britain and Europe. “What I love about Rory is his dedication.
You get up in the morning, to be that good for that long, and going to be that good for a lot longer is the dedication, and how much you’ve got to put in to be able to do the sacrifice you have to do that, which is incredible. “If he keeps playing like that and he gets the right set of courses, he could get at least another two or three majors. I believe he could yeah.
” Woosnam claimed his only major win at The Masters, while McIlroy is now a six-time major champion following his latest triumph. The 36-year-old has won The Masters twice, the PGA Championship twice, the US Open once and The Open Championship once.
