Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy Teeing Off Together

Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy Teeing Off Together
Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy are both coming off impressive wins from last weekend. Today they will be teeing off together at the start of the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.

The Australian and the Northern Irishman will both be hoping the momentum from their previous events carries over to Muirfield as 120 of the best players in the world get ready to hit the Jack Nicklaus designed course.

With Scott recently claiming the number 1 position in the world rankings, his win at the Crowne Plaza Invitational couldn’t have come at a better time. Combined with the success of his new putting routine, he’s definitely one to watch this weekend.

As for McIlroy, the 25-year-old is determined to not let his personal life get in the way of his game. After calling off his engagement last week, the Nike player headed to the PGA Championship, ridding himself of distractions and winning his first tournament of 2014.

McIlroy is looking to do the same this weekend in Ohio. Telling reporters, “I think I showed quite a lot of mental strength or focus or whatever you want to call it last week during the whole tournament. And when I really needed to play well and hole some putts and get it up-and-down when I needed to, I was able to do it. It was nice to be able to close it out in the way that I did.”

Scott and McIlroy will be joined during the first two rounds by Jason Day.  This will be the Australian’s first event since the Masters in April due to a thumb injury.
