Rory McIlroy wants to be 'best golfer' of his generation

World's number one golfer Rory McIlroy has said that he wants to be the best player of his generation.

While calling ace golfer Tiger Woods a "phenomenon," McIlroy said that he may not be able to replicate Woods' success, but wanted to be better than everyone else in his generation, including Masters Champion Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Rickie Fowler, reported the BBC.

The 26-year-old won his third tournament of the year on Sunday, recording a seven-stroke victory at the Wells Fargo Classic on the PGA Tour.

The Northern Irishman said that he wanted to win "lot more tournaments and lot more majors" but wouldn't put a number on it to avoid putting a burden on himself.
