/Doug Ferguson mentioned the Madison Square Garden scene Monday night in his story about Rory McIlroy's rise, complete with quotes from admiring peers like Geoff Ogilvy.
McIlroy is so unbeatable right now he won a point off tennis star Maria Sharapova hours later. At Madison Square Garden on Monday night to cheer on girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki in an exhibition match, he was invited onto the court with Wozniacki a game from losing.

Asked if he was surprised, McIlroy joked: “I’ve won a few off Caroline.”
