1. McIlroy Hollow
Whether it’s the swing tuneup or a return to a track he’s feasted upon, Rory McIlroy is tied atop the leaderboard after round one at Quail Hollow

4. Meanwhile, in Chengdu…
EuropeanTour.com report…”Wu Ashun delighted the home crowds with a brilliant 65 that handed him a two shot lead heading into the weekend at the Volvo China Open.”
“The home favourite won his maiden European Tour title at this event in 2015 and has gone on to triumph twice more, making him the most prolific Chinese winner in European Tour history.”
