McIlroy edges Tiger by one shot in The Match

By Tym Glaser in Haikou, Hainan Islands | China Daily | Updated: 2013-10-29 07:28

It was deja vu all over again on Monday when Rory McIlroy went head-to-head with Tiger Woods in an exhibition showdown and once again emerged victorious by the slimmest of margins

After a tough 18 holes played in humid conditions over Mission Hills uber-long par-73 Blackstone Course, the Northern Irishman shot a 6-under 67 to edge the world No 1 by a single stroke - the same margin as their Duel at Jinshan in Zhengzhou last year.

This battle, dubbed The Match at Mission Hills, saw McIIroy jump out to a two-stroke lead after the first two holes thanks to birdies, but Woods fought his way back to knot the score going into the penultimate hole, where he missed a short par putt while McIlroy drained his.
