Golf star Ernie Els praises Rory McIlroy
 South African golf star Ernie Els has praised fellow golfer Rory McIlroy saying he a good chance of becoming the world number one after McIlroy got through to the WGC Accenture Match Play quarter-finals.
19-year-old McIlroy, who comes from Northern Ireland, has been getting all the attention focused on him in Arizona after Tiger Woods had to quit earlier than expected.
McIlroy has already defeated South African player Tim Clark on Friday to go forward to playing in the last-eight against Australian golfer Geoff Ogilvy.
Els is reported to have said he thinks McIlroy will be a future world number one in golf and without any doubt will be a major name in the sport.
McIlroy, who is actually appearing for the first time in America, hasn't been excited by all the fuss and says he thinks he still has a long way to go.
