McIlroy said: "Obviously it's another incentive realizing that in the event you win, at the conclusion of the week you may be world number one.
"It's just nice to obtain through. On that stretch (about the back nine) where I won four in a row I felt like I played some good golf. I'll have to play much more of that tomorrow against Anders."
Three from the sport's top are already out. Italian teenager Matteo Manassero knocked out sixth-ranked Webb Simpson and England's Robert Rock, conqueror of Titleist 910 D2 Driver Woods along with the world top four in Abu Dhabi a few weeks ago, got the better from the eighth-ranked Australian Adam Scott.
Like Rock, Scots Paul Lawrie and Martin Laird won about the last against Justin Rose and Alvaro Quiros respectively. They now play Ryo Ishikawa and Manassero, while Rock expires against American Mark Wilson.
Woods, who lost to Thomas Bjorn inside first round recently, and lost the initial two holes trailed Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano by one with four to try out on Thursday, but he won the next two and held on to match the second round where he'll meet fellow American Nick Watney who easily beat reigning Open champion Darren Clarke 5&4.
For quite a while World No 2 NcIlroy, who can check out World Number one if he wins here, looked as if a ragged finish would cost him too, but he secured Mizuno MP-69 Irons the ultimate hole when Coetzee three-putted coming from a good way in the market to eventually win 2-0.
Remember, the initial round lived up to it's reputation for massive unpredictably, Donald being one of the 1st round's 15 upset victims inside 32 matches played at Dove Mountain's Ritz-Carlton Driver on Wednesday.
Donald seldom appeared as if losing as he won the discount golf clubs crown recently and don't trailed in almost any of his six matches, but he was under the whip from the word opposed to the top South African, who at his peak not too long ago, was rated among the games greatest match players of contemporary times
