McIlroy, Woods in the hunt

Both hoping inspiration will come from playing with Augusta National ace Jeff Knox

TOP-RANKED Rory McIlroy and 14-time major winner Tiger Woods, each seeking a milestone Masters victory next Sunday, appear to have a key adviser in common -- Augusta National ace Jeff Knox.

Should either golf superstar capture the green jacket next weekend – McIlroy to complete a career Grand Slam and win his third major in a row or Woods to end a seven-year major win drought – he might just owe some thanks to 51-year-old Knox, who set the Augusta National members course record of 61 in 2003.
