McIlroy made five birdies on his back-nine during an opening round of 67

World number two Rory McIlroy is three shots off the pace after carding an opening-round 67 at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai.
Haotong Li shot an eight-under-par 64 to lead Frenchman Victor Perez by a single shot.
Li, 24, had seven birdies, an eagle and a bogey to card his best round at Sheshan Golf International.
Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick and defending champion Xander Schauffele are well-placed on six-under-par.
McIlroy, who finished in a tie for third at last week's Zozo Championship in Japan, started slowly to reach the turn in level par before five birdies in six holes during the back nine catapulted him up the leaderboard.
The Northern Irishman, who has finished in the top five at this event on four previous occasions, trails Li by three alongside Corey Conners and Matthias Schwab.
