Irish golfers pull on golf clothing and get ahead in World Golf Cup.

Published: 27 November 2009

Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy are continuing to keep Ireland in the lead at the World Cup of Golf, which began yesterday (November 26th) at the Mission Hills Golf Club in China.

After the second day of the event - which was played in an alternate shot style - the pair are three strokes ahead of the defending Swedish team, made up of Robert Karlsson and Henrik Stenson.

The Swedish pair also shot the best round of the day after putting on their golf clothing and taking to the course, but the Irishmen still kept their lead.

"We are both playing really well and will be playing aggressively in the third round, looking for loads of birdies and eagles and trying to break 60 again," said McDowell.

Mission Hills Golf Club in China is the largest golf course in the world and was designed by 12 well-known people from the golf world.
