Rory left dazed as Donaldson dazzles

Despite suffering from the effects of pollution, Rory McIlroy managed to keep in sight of Irish Open winner Jamie Donaldson on the opening day of the BMW Masters in Shanghai.

McIlroy picked-up a headache late in his round of a five-under-par 67 brought on by the heavily contaminated air of the Chinese financial capital.

However, there was some relief when McIlroy punched his way through the pollution to land a 144-yard, nine-iron second shot at the last to just four feet and end with a birdie to trail Donaldson by five shots.
