Last hope McIlroy makes exit

IRELAND’S last hope in the World Golf Championships Accenture Match Play Championship ended last night as Oliver Wilson ousted Rory McIlroy in 20 holes at Tucson.

McIlroy stood 2 up on the 14th tee of this match, and then lost that hole to Wilson’s bogey. The 20-year-old never recovered. Wilson birdied the 15th to square the match. They each parred the final three holes to force sudden death. Both parred the first extra hole, but Wilson birdied the 20th hole to win it. He’ll face Luke Donald in the third round today.

“I didn’t deserve to win today,” admitted a disappointed McIlroy.
