McIlroy leads Hong Kong Open

Rory McIlroy led the way on six under par as the first round of the Hong Kong Open entered its closing stages but Miguel Angel Jimenez was just one shot back of the Irishman.

McIlroy picked up six birdies and did not drop a shot in his opening 64 to post the clubhouse lead but Jimenez looked set to threaten that mark after the Spaniard picked up five shots over the front nine at Hong Kong Golf Club.
