Difficult weather conditions affected all players during the first round of the Genesis Invitational. Rory McIlroy's fellow Irishman was very vocal about it.

Rory McIlroy almost holed out from 88 yards for a birdie at the par-4 5th hole in the opening round of the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines.

With his ball buried in the thick, wet rough, Rory McIlroy lashed at the ground, sending his ball into the stratosphere. The result? Incredible.

RORY MCILROY HAS soared into contention at The Genesis Invitational in San Diego while Shane Lowry has slipped back in Torrey Pines. The second round is still underway but McIlroy looks to be in a strong position as he sits three shots off the lead after 13 holes.
