  • Penguins Edge Bruins
    Sports FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2013 McIlroy finds form SHANGHAI: Rory McIlroy enjoyed one of his best rounds of a disappointing season to storm into a two-shot lead over a star-stud- ded field at the $8.5 million WGC-HSBC Champions tournament yesterday. Displaying a deft short game with a new lob wedge, McIlroy reeled off eight birdies en route to a first round seven-under-par 65 at the World Golf Championship event in Sheshan. Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Welshman Jamie Donaldson are tied for sec- ond on five-under, one ahead of a group of four players that includes American prospect Jordan Spieth and Briton Justin Rose. After cruising along nicely for 16 holes, British Open champion and two-time winner of this event Phil Mickelson looked primed to challenge McIlroy’s lead until he suffered a dramatic late-round meltdown to fall off the pace. The left-hander dropped four strokes at the par-five eighth, his 17th, where he twice found the pond in front of the green, and also dropped a shot at the ninth after pulling his second into the water for a one-under 71. PITTSBURGH: Marc-Andre Fleury #29 of the Pittsburgh Penguins makes a save behind Reilly Smith #18 of the Boston Bruins and McIlroy, on the other hand, had no such Matt Niskanen #2 during the game at Consol Energy Center on October 30, 2013. — AFP misadventures with his only dropped shot coming on the 11th hole, his second of the round. “It’s only one round but it’s definitely Penguins edge Bruins the way I wanted and needed to start this week,” said the two-time major champion, who was ranked number one in the world as PITTSBURGH: Brandon Sutter and Jussi Jokinen KINGS 4, SHARKS 3, OT slide.
