Sizzling Spieth sets sights on McIlroy

While Tiger Woods struggled in his return from a four-month layoff, it was Jordan Spieth whose overpowering Hero World Challenge victory on Sunday revived memories of Woods in his prime.

The 21-year-old American, coming off an Australian Open triumph a week earlier, fired a six under par 66 to complete a wire-to-wire triumph in the elite 18-player event at Isleworth.

Spieth's 26-under total of 262 and his victory margin of 10 strokes over Swedish world No 2 Henrik Stenson were both tournament records, and his score in relation to par was one not even Woods has matched over 72 holes.
