McIlroy withdraws from Honda Classic

Defending champion Rory McIlroy today pulled out of the Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens after making a wretched start to his second round.

The Northern Irishman, ranked number one in the world, began on the back nine and played his opening eight holes of the round in seven over par.

He then found the water at the 18th - his ninth hole - and immediately quit the tournament, the PGA Tour announced.

McIlroy had a level-par 70 yesterday, but was set to miss the cut after his flurry of dropped shots before deciding enough was enough. He had double-bogeyed the 11th, taken a seven at the par-four 16th, and also given shots away at the 13th and 17th holes.

The 23-year-old has struggled to rediscover the form that has elevated him to the top of the world rankings so far in 2013, highlighted by his first-round exit at the Accenture Match Play Champion to Shane Lowry last week.

He signed a lucrative sponsorship deal with Nike last month and his performances with the manufacturer's clubs have been below expectations.

McIlroy also missed the cut at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by four shots last month.
