McIlroy goes out after losing to Woods
BELEK, Turkey (Reuters) - World number two Tiger Woods swept past Rory McIlroy by six strokes on Thursday to reach the semi-finals of the World Golf Final and eliminate the top-ranked Northern Irishman.
Woods was always ahead in the Group One tussle and ended up shooting a seven-under-par 64 against McIlroy's 70 at the Antalya Golf Club to set up a meeting with England's Justin Rose.
