HAIKOU, China — Rory McIlroy won for the first time this year — even if it was an 18-hole exhibition match against Tiger Woods.

McIlroy made four birdies and an eagle over the final seven holes for a 6-under 67 at Mission Hills, giving him a one-shot win over Woods for the second straight year in China.
