McIlroy and McDowell seek World Cup glory

Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell finally have the chance this week to make up for the disappointment of losing the World Cup by one shot two years ago.

The two Ulstermen, who once again represent the whole of Ireland on Hainan Island in China, led by three with 11 holes to play in Shenzhen last time, but were beaten when Italy’s Francesco Molinari recovered superbly from sand at the last and brother Edoardo sank the putt.
