CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, May 16 (Reuters) - Rory McIlroy drew comparisons with Tiger Woods after the Northern Irishman's stunning round of 11-under 61 at the Wells Fargo Championship on Saturday.
"Tiger was the man. Rory is up there. He's Tiger-like to me," said Will MacKenzie, who played with McIlroy during the Quail Hollow course record round that included 11 birdies.
"Guys like Jordan Spieth and Rickie (Fowler) are totally awesome, but when this guy hits it, you know who's hitting it.
"The long ball is impressive but he's got the touch to back it up. When this guy's on, he just loads (on his backswing) better than everybody.
