Rory is McIlroy Donald felt it after leaving the course. The US Open champion took control by winning four consecutive holes and he was 3 up with three to play. Then came a bogey on the 16th, and another on the 17th. Suddenly, he was 1 down to the 18th hole · against Kuche, who suddenly produced his drive that challenged par. "It was a terrible ride home, believe me," said the man who lost five times in the first round. "I saw the road. He has given him a lot of pressure. Yes, I know how it feels." He heads to next event in two weeks at Doral in South Florida. Matteo Manassero decided there would be no such stress this week. When it changed, he built a three-hole lead over Simpson and then had a series of nine one-putts for birdie or par that kept him in place. Donald came out - in a year when he became the first player to capture money titles on the PGA Tour and European Tour - without finishing in the top 30 in any of the three tournaments he played this year. The last time that happened was August 2009. Even so, there was no looking back. "I don't think this will affect my performance today. I just didn't play well enough," Donald said. "I struggled. I left too many putts short, made too many mistakes. You can't play anyone in this game, let alone Ernie." Tiger Woods holed a 50-foot birdie putt, drove to the middle of the 15th green for a two-putt birdie, and twice erased deficits. Bad Tiger missed three putts from inside 8 feet and lost the hole to desert. For the first time since his debut in this World Golf Championships in 2005, the No. 1 player in the world was beaten in the first round. And there was nothing like it, not even for a restless Tiger Woods, who wasn't even seeded No. 1 considering the strength of the 64-player field over 18 holes. This was an 8-foot putt uphill. It gave him a stroke and a hard-fought victory over Fernandez-Castano in the opening round. It allowed him to return Thursday to Dove Mountain with only one goal in this wild match-play tournament, stainless steel floor drain. ( · Lieberman / AP) - Rory · McIlroy of Northern Ireland teed off against 15 · Kuche in the Match Play Championship in Marana, Arizona on Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Comment In all these adventures, the forest had no trouble taking the most important shot in his match on Wednesday at the Match Play Championship. Reincorrections? Originally Donald was not going to play the 18th hole this week either. He never led. Starting to falter against Els, he began to fade after nine holes until it was time to doff his cap and shake hands on the 14th green. Everyone felt the pressure at some point. That's the nature of this match. Inshare. Super won 5 and 4 to become the third 64th seed to win a match since this event started in 1999. Peter · O 'Mara defeated Woods in Costa Rica in 2002, and Ross McGowan beat Steve Stricker two years ago at Dove Mountain. Just a year ago, Donald put on the main show in the Match Play Championship. He never trailed all week and none of his matches went to the 18th hole. "Maybe the putt on 18," he said. Donald will not have that privilege, melamine. Luckily for McIlory, his opponent did not capitalize. Kuche walked away from a 60-foot pin to his approach and three-putted for bogey. So McIlory escaped and was on his way against Donald, and the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland had a clear path to No. 1.
