Golf's newest superstar Rory McIlroy will headline this year's Hong Kong Open in a major coup for the event, organisers yesterday.
The 22-year-old, whose breathtaking eight-shot US Open win drew comparisons with Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, will hope for his first victory in Hong Kong after placing sixth last year and reaching a play-off in 2009.
