It’s doesn’t always make sense to compare male and female golfers — their body types and muscular systems can differ greatly — but occasionally we have no choice. A swing, a shot, a mannerism looks so similar that we can’t ignore the similarities.

GOLF.com’s Sean Zak shares a side-by-side video of Saso and McIlroy, and breaks down their swings.
