RORY MCILROY MADE a solid start in his bid to complete a full set of World Golf Championship titles as Matt Fitzpatrick claimed a share of the clubhouse lead in the WGC-Workday Championship.
McIlroy carded an opening 69 to trail former Ryder Cup team-mate Fitzpatrick and American Webb Simpson by three shots at The Concession Golf Club, with former world number one Brooks Koepka a shot off the lead.
Koepka’s 67 was 10 shots better than playing partner, Masters champion and current number one Dustin Johnson, who carded two birdies, two bogeys and two double bogeys.
