The Open 2014: Rory McIlroy sets sights on Masters and dominance

Rory McIlroy hopes to "dominate" golf and emulate the success of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods after his Open Championship success.

A two-shot victory at Royal Liverpool added the Claret Jug to McIlroy's2011 US Open and 2012 PGA Championship wins.

"I feel like there's a lot more left in me," said the 25-year-old, who is "confident" of completing a Grand Slam of majors at the Masters in April.

"I want be to be the guy that goes on and wins majors regularly."

Players to win all four golf majors
	Masters	US Open	The Open	PGA
Jack Nicklaus	Six	Four	Three	Five
Tiger Woods	Four	Three	Three	Four
Gary Player	Three	One	Three	Two
Ben Hogan	Two	Four	One	Two
Gene Sarazen	One	Two	One	Three

Asked if he could replicate the 18 Grand Slam wins Nicklaus amassed and the success of 14-time major winner Woods, McIlroy replied: "I definitely hope so.

"Golf is looking for someone to put their hand up and try to dominate and I want to be that person."

The Northern Irishman's dominance at Hoylake in the third round saw him build a six-shot cushion before a final day where challengers Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia could never reduce the deficit to less than two strokes.

Two rounds of 66 and a 68 ahead of Sunday showed consistency which contrasted his Open form of 2013, where he missed the cut at Muirfield and described his play as "brain dead".
