Rory sets Akron pace

There was a Rory setting the early pace at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron today, but it was South African Rory Sabbatini rather than Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy.

While the 22-year-old US Open champion waited to start his first event in America since becoming a major champion, Sabbatini birdied the first three holes.
