Rory McIlroy & Marc Warren Single Out Russell Knox For Praise.
Four-time Major winning Rory McIlroy has singled out Russell Knox for special praise.

McIlroy was first introduced to Knox at last year’s Honda Classic when the pair were involved in a four-man play-off but with American Russell Hendry winning at PGA National.
McIlroy said: “Russell seems a really nice ...
Marc Warren Intent On ‘Beach Party’ Approach To Season Finale.
Marc Warren intends to adopt a similar t-shirt and flip flop laid back approach to this week’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
Warren looked very casual at Tuesday night’s now annual ‘Beach Party’ held on the beach front at the stunning Atlantis Hotel complex.
And with the continuing pressure of striving to break into the world’s top-50 by year’s end, Warren is keen not to exert any undue pressure ahead of the $8m Jumeriah Estates showdown.
The Scot is currently ranked ...

Willett Spices-Up Race To Dubai Finale With McIlroy Tour ‘Membership’ Remarks.
Closest Race to Dubai rival Danny Willett has spiced-up this week’s season finale questioning the decision to allow Rory McIlroy to play less than the mandatory number of events this year.
Willett trails McIlroy by just Euro 1,613 ahead of Thursday’s start to the DP Wolrd Tour Championship at the Jumeriah Golf Estate.
The 28-year old Willett let slip the opportunity to go ahead of the absent McIlroy in finishing T28th in last week’s BMW Masters in Shanghai.
And despite not managing ...
Faldo Course, Emirates Club, Dubai – Like The Designer, The Course Grows On You.
The Faldo Course at the Emirates Club in Dubai is a bit like its designer – the more you get to know Nick Faldo, the more at ease you are in his company.
I have been fortunate now to play the Faldo course a few times and while it doesn’t get any easier, I do feel very comfortable teeing-up.
Once again, my thanks go to Viren Varma at Golf in Dubai for the opportunity to play the course.
Viren is the highly-respected Media Officer with Golf in Dubai and is based at the Emirates Club. ...
Rory McIlroy & Danny Willett – Race To Dubai Rivals Going Head-To-Head In Dubai.
They were team-mates in the 2007 Walker Cup but that counts for nothing in this week’s Race to Dubai showdown at Jumeriah Estate in Dubai.
Former double European No. 1 Rory McIlroy admits he would be disappointed to end his year without The Race to Dubai trophy, but then Danny Willett has his sights set on causing an upset at the DP World Tour Championship.
The pair are separated by just 1,613 points after 47 tournaments, meaning whoever finishes higher this week is likely to finish the season ...
