How can I intimidate Tiger Woods? I mean, the guy’s got 75 or whatever PGA Tour wins, 14 majors. He’s been the biggest thing ever in our sport. How could some little 23-year-old from Northern Ireland with a few wins come up and intimidate him. – Rory McIlroy
Your woods, irons and wedges are built with specific lengths and lie angles, which demand that you stand to the ball a little differently for each one.
