McIlroy shines as rivals tumble

It was a day to remember for Rory McIlroy in The Masters today – and one to forget for Padraig Harrington and world number one Martin Kaymer.

While they shot 77 and 78 respectively – Harrington nearly pulled out with neck trouble – McIlroy charged into an early three-stroke clubhouse lead with a dazzling seven-under-par 65.
