Superstar golfer Rory McIlroy said he "felt sorry" for longtime friendly rival Tiger Woods while watching the 14-time major champion try to return from the lingering back problems that have limited him to one official PGA Tour start since late August 2015.
Ewan Murray of the Guardian passed along comments Friday from the Northern Irish sensation, who proclaimed he's as focused as ever on being the "best golfer in the world." The third-ranked player in the world admitted he didn't expect to have those type of feelings about Woods, though.
