Aaron Rai shrugs off early nerves to outshine playing partner Rory McIlroy

Aaron Rai overcame early nerves to shoot a first-round 66 at Wentworth, outperforming playing partner and Masters champion Rory McIlroy. Rai admitted feeling 'really nervous' about partnering McIlroy, but his score put the high-profile pairing in the shade despite McIlroy's much-discussed 60 in the pro-am. The performance marked a strong opening round for Rai at the BMW PGA Championship.
