Rory McIlroy Suffers WGC Defeat
Rory McIlroy has been knocked out in the opening round of the WGC Match Play in Arizona.
The world number one lost on the final green to fellow Irishman Shane Lowry.
Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood were also knocked out on Thursday.
McIlroy changed club and ball suppliers from Titleist to Nike at the start of this year in a big money deal.
"I drove really well, but couldn't take advantage of that," McIlroy said. "If I'd hit my irons better it could have been a different story.
"I could have been three or four up early on, but let him get back into the match and he had a nice little run."
