Rory McIlroy Ready to Attack the First Round of Match Play

Rory McIlroy Ready to Attack the First Round of Match Play
For Rory McIlroy the key to being successful at the WGC-Accenture Match Play rests in being aggressive from the start.
 
Explaining his strategy to reporters yesterday McIlroy said, “In a 72-hole tournament, you can play your way into the round. Here, you have to attack from the very start.”
 
Twelve months seems to have made a world of difference for the Nike player. Having moved on from a disappointing 2013, McIlroy is back to looking confident and focused both on and off the course. The 24-year-old is pleased with his performances so far this year but knows there’s still more to be done in order to win.
 
“It has been a nice positive start to the season, I have just tried to continue that the last couple of weeks, practiced hard. I have worked hard and I feel like I'm seeing the results of that now.”
 
McIlroy will be playing Boo Weekley today, knowing he must be on his game from the get-go in order to make it thru the first round of the knockout event.
