Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods were in the zone on Thursday afternoon. Putts were dropping, drives were finding the fairway with regularity, and irons were flying true. Neither admitted it after the round, but they were in their own little bubble for much of the day, smiling, laughing and trying to one-up each other on […]
