McIlroy takes positives from play-off defeat

Rory McIlroy insisted he was not too downhearted after narrowly missing out on his first European Tour win following a play-off defeat to Lin Wen-tang at the UBS Hong Kong Open today.

The teenager from the North shot a final-round five-under-par 65 to enter a three-way play-off with Lin and Italian Francesco Molinari at the Hong Kong Golf Club.
