U.S. Open champ Rory McIlroy is confident he can handle the pressure that comes with being considered the next Tiger Woods. Comparisons were made after the 22-year-old Northern Irishman swept to his first major victory in record- breaking style at the Congressional on Sunday. His status will undoubtedly soar, but McIlroy hopes to stay grounded. “With success comes expectation, and I know the expectation on me is going to be pretty high,” McIlroy told Sky Sports TV. “I expect big things from myself.” McIlroy is taking the next three weeks off. His first event back is the British Open.
