McIlroys result wasnt yet official when Woods met with the media, but he offered these comments on the matchup.If it is Rory, were looking forward to it, he said. Weve played tournaments together, battled each other down the stretch at events, but never in a match-play situation. So this will be fun if it works out.McIlroy and Woods have played together 18 times on the PGA Tour, with Woods owning a 9-6-3 head-to-head advantage in stroke play. They most recently played together for the opening two rounds at this seasons Genesis Open, but McIlroys comments call back to the final round of last seasons Tour Championship, when Tiger won his 80th Tour title and Rory never mounted a challenge.Though theyve never met in competitive match play, McIlroy did say the two have played some games at home in South Florida.It's exciting for both of us, I'm sure. I'm definitely excited. I'm sure he is, as well, McIlroy said. Hopefully I can give him a better game tomorrow.
