McIlroy was paired with Westwood in the first round, and admitted he found the going tougher than expected. "I didn't think I would find it as difficult as I did to be honest," he commented. "But that's the way I found it and I thought I dealt pretty well with it. Lee's been around a lot longer than me. You want to try and concentrate on the tournament, but at the same time you're seeing what he's doing. It will be nice not to play with him tomorrow, just to concentrate fully on my own score and on my own game."
