Rory McIlroy Pleased To Assist Peter Lawrie With Dubai Invitation.

Four time Major winning Rory McIlroy said he was delighted to use his influence in the game to assist fellow Irishman Peter Lawrie secure an invitation, along with a Jumeriah Resort hotel room for the week.

“I wrote the tournament a letter as Peter asked me for a little help getting into the event given he had such a tough year last season,” said McIlroy.

“You try and do anything you can to help out your fellow players, and I guess my voice does not carry a little more weight that it used to, so I was delighted to help out Peter.

“And we saw how well Peter played last week in Qatar and then shooting a 66 on Sunday in the Abu Dhabi Invitational that there is now some light at the end of the tunnel.”

Lawrie ended the day posting a one over par 73.
