GLENEAGLES -- Rory McIlroy is No. Russell Westbrook Jersey . 1 in the world of golf. At the Ryder Cup, he sees himself as one of 12. McIlroy and the rest of the Europeans have been hearing all week about how the Americans are targeting the top players at Gleneagles. The concept is nothing new. For years, Tiger Woods was the player everyone wanted to beat. Woods is recovering from back injuries and is not at the Ryder Cup for the second time in six years. U.S. captain Tom Watson has mentioned McIlroy and Ian Poulter as two key players to beat. "You knock off the big dog, that gives your team a boost," Watson said last week. McIlroy has won the last two majors to establish himself anew as the best player in golf. Poulter has the best record of any active player in the Ryder Cup, winning 12 of his 15 matches including seven in a row. "I know Watson has been talking about targeting us two and whatever, but at the same time, its only one-sixth of the team," McIlroy said Wednesday. "Theres 10 other world-class players that he has to worry about, as well, and they are just as capable of putting points on the board for Europe. They can try and target us all they want, but theres guys alongside us that can do just as good a job." Colin Montgomerie once said beating Woods felt like it was worth more than one point. McIlroy was having none of that. "Someone beats me, they win a point -- no more, no less." This is nothing new for McIlroy. Two years ago, he won the U.S. PGA Championship by a record eight shots, and then won back-to-back in the FedEx Cup playoffs to reach No. 1 in the world going into Medinah. His presence might be even greater at Gleneagles coming off victories in the British Open, U.S. PGA Championship and a World Golf Championship, primarily because Woods isnt around. "Its not hard to pick out the best player in the world right now," Jim Furyk said. "Its Rory McIlroy. And Ian has obviously had a great record in this." McIlroy was still buzzing on Wednesday morning over an evening spent with former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. Boy Wonder caused a stir himself during practice by using a new driver. Its rare for someone to make any equipment changes the week of such a big event. Perhaps the most famous was in 2004, when Phil Mickelson signed a new equipment deal with Callaway and changed out his driver and golf ball at Oakland Hills. He was paired with Woods and they lost both of their matches. McIlroy is aware of that incident -- he was a 15-year-old Junior Ryder Cup player who was in the gallery. "Phil Mickelson nearly hit me off the tees in 2004," McIlroy said. "I was standing down the left-hand side, so Im very aware of what he did that week. Hey, look, Phil changed from one equipment manufacturer to another. This is a driver that Ive actually been using and practicing with since June. I wouldnt be putting it in the bag if I didnt feel it was better." It appeared to be working fine. McIlroy drove the green on the par-4 14th. "Everyone saw yesterday it was the only driver I had out there in the bag," he said. "Its looking likely that its going to be in the bag this week." McIlroy then headed out for another day of practice. He was in a group with Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer on the first full day of practice. On Wednesday, he was sent out in a group of four with Kaymer, Graeme McDowell and Victor Dubuisson. Kevin Durant Jersey . Advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals should be a formality after Lionel Messi scored a penalty and Dani Alves added a late second to secure a commanding 2-0 advantage over City in the round of 16 on Tuesday. Paul George Jersey . Best has been bothered by concussion problems and hasnt played since Oct. 16, when the Lions lost to San Francisco. After starting 5-0, Detroit has lost four of six, beginning with that game against the 49ers. http://www.authenticthunderauthority.com/detlef-sc...ersey-c -9/ .C. Lions. The clubs former starting quarterback, assistant and head coach returned Thursday as its receivers coach.HOUSTON - The Houston Astros said Monday that they have been the victims of hackers who accessed their servers and published months of internal trade talks on the Internet. "It was an illegal activity and were going to pursue it and try and find out who did it and prosecute," general manager Jeff Luhnow said. The team is working with the FBI and Major League Baseball security to try who was responsible for the breach. Luhnow said the team learned of the hacking about a month ago. The team responded on Monday after the website Deadspin.com published a story about the breach. Among the items involved talks with Miami to trade 2012 top overall pick Carlos Correa and rookie George Springer for Marlins star slugger Giancarlo Stanton. Luhnow said some of the information was accurate and some was not, but he wouldnt discuss what portions fell into which category. He said the Astros have since upgraded the security on their system. "I dont know if anybody can say for sure that any system is 100 per cent secure, but were working on it," Luhnow said. "Weve done a security review and were going to continue to do more. Obviously information is important in our industry as it is in any industry, and we want to do everything we can to protect the information." Luhnow has reached out to other teams to apologize that theey were involved in the breach as well. Gary Payton Jersey . . "Some of it is not accurate and theres information out there that affects other teams and individual players thats not accurate," he said. "And just in general when you have a conversation with another team its a conversation between two individuals or two clubs. Its not meant to be shared with the world. So I feel bad about that." The Astros rely heavily on sabermetrics in their evaluation of players and have been open about the fact that they use an online database to house their proprietary information. Luhnow isnt sure if thats why they were targeted, but he knows they are far from the only team which stores data about players and trades online. "You have to think about it: its the double-edged sword of technology makes things easier, but if things like this are capable of happening its definitely a risk that every team should probably think about now in light of this happening to us," he said. "It happened to us. Could it have happened to other clubs? I dont know." "One of the things I have been talking to my counterparts about with other clubs is recommending that everybody take a look at their own security systems and make sure they dont get hacked the way that we were. Because this definitely was an illegal activity," he said, Cheap Authentic Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2018 Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Authentic Jerseys ' ' '
