Rory McIlroy hoping to build on strong start in South Africa

"I feel that if we get conditions like that for the rest of the week I can definitely go lower."

Rory McIlroy made a strong start to his 2017 campaign at the BMW SA Open as the world number two carded an opening five-under-par 67 at Glendower GC.

The Holywood golfer produced seven birdies and two bogeys in his first competitive round since November to lie only one shot behind first-round leaders Trevor Fisher Jnr and Keith Horne.
