McIlroy ups pressure on Donald
Rory McIlroy has opened up a six-shot lead over Luke Donald on the first day of golf’s Dubai World Championship.
McIlroy, who is currently two shots off the lead, must win the competition and hope that Donald finishes outside the top nine in order to end the 2011 season on top of the European Tour rankings.
Meanwhile, in rugby, Stuart Lancaster has been announced as the interim head coach of England for the 2012 Six Nations, while the RFU searches for a full-time replacement for Martin Johnson, who quit last month after a disappointing World Cup campaign.
