McIlroy into top 50
Published Date:
24 November 2008
Nineteen-year-old Rory McIlroy has still made it into the world's top 50 for the first time despite his play-off defeat in the Hong Kong Open yesterday.
McIlroy, a professional for only 14 months, suffered his second sudden death loss of the year, being beaten at the second extra hole by Taiwan's Lin Wen-tang.
The pair are now 50th and 51st on the rankings, separated by only 0.01pts, but if McIlroy, up 13 places from last week, remains in the top 50 at the end of next month he will earn himself a debut in The Masters at Augusta next April.
"It was a great week," said McIlroy. "I'll take all the positives. I can't be too disappointed. That's the way it goes."
