McIlroy keeping eyes on the prize

RORY McILROY insists the presence of stunning girlfriend Carolina Wozniacki was not a distraction as he recorded four bogeys on the second day of the WGC–HSBC Champions event in Shanghai.

McIlroy recorded a three under par 69 to move into a share of 17th at five under par in smoggy but warm conditions on the Sheshan Golf Club course.

McIlroy’s round was a mix of seven birdies and also four bogeys with the high being three birdies in succession from the sixth and the low coming when he found water right off the tee at the par four, 16th.
