Rory McIlroy is having one of the most dominating performances of all time at the US Open golf. Any golf follower out there, should be thinking about all the similarities to Tiger Woods that is in Rory.
One great performance doesn't make you Tiger Woods, it makes you like Tiger Woods, on a single day.
It is just a glimpse of what could come if McIlroy stays on his game and continues to swing as well as he is swinging and scoring as well as he is scoring.
One thing is for sure though, this performance is making Tiger antsy.

Crunchsports caught up with Lee Westwood after he shot a six under par at the 2011 US Open golf on Saturday. Westwood appears to be optimistic about his chances of contending as he's not sure how Rory McIlroy will play with such a big lead.
LEE WESTWOOD: Well, I played well today, in general. LEE WESTWOOD: I drove the ball great. If you drive the ball well around this golf course, it's scorable.
LEE WESTWOOD: No, they don't give trophies away on Fridays and Saturdays.
Q. Right now it's an 8-shot difference. LEE WESTWOOD: I've set a target on Friday night. I can't control how Rory is going to play, nor can he control my game. Q. If you take away Rory's score, there's a lot of red numbers for a U.S. Open?
LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah, nice to see. They set the golf course up great. You play well, you shoot good scores, there's no tricks to this one. LEE WESTWOOD: I don't know, depends what time he gets finished.
Q. (Inaudible.)
So that makes scoring a little bit easier. And the fairways become a little bit wider with the rain we've had, as well.
Q. (Inaudible.)
LEE WESTWOOD: Today 65. Q. (Inaudible.)
LEE WESTWOOD: No, I don't think he saw me.
Q. You thought the golf course was attackable today?
LEE WESTWOOD: I think Mike and the USGA have set the golf course up great all week. LEE WESTWOOD: This would be a lot tougher if it was hard, if the golf course was playing firm. It would play a little shorter. LEE WESTWOOD: My confidence level is always pretty high, it's got to be. LEE WESTWOOD: Well, I've won twice and lost in the playoff in my last four stroke events. LEE WESTWOOD: Well, you know, Rory is a good player. When he plays well, he's capable of shooting low scores.
