ATLANTA (Reuters) - As Rory McIlroy hunts his fifth tournament win of the year at this week's Tour Championship, his rivals could well feel a sense of foreboding that the world number one is tied for the lead despite not playing at his best.

Just as Tiger Woods in his heyday used to intimidate his peers by contending for titles even when not possessing his 'A' game, McIlroy has swept to the top of the leaderboard at East Lake Golf Club without playing at his best.
