Rory McIlroy was crowned King of European golf for a third occasion in the past four years winning the Race to Dubai title and also capturing a second DP World Tour Championship also in four years. McIlroy was in a class of his own coming from one shot back heading to the last day of the season’s final event and absorbing everything young Englishman Andy Sullivan threw at him. The only real hiccup for McIlroy, who has now won four times in Dubai, was finding the water at the penultimate hole for ...

Four-time Major winning Rory McIlroy moved closer to a third Race to Dubai title in four years and then predicted Ireland’s exciting new Tour star Paul Dunne will have no concerns retaining his Tour card after his success earlier this week at the Tour School.

England’s Andy Sullivan is the only player on the European Tour to have won three times this season and now he’s on track for a fourth at the halfway stage of the US$8 million DP World Tour Championship, Dubai at Jumeirah Golf Estates after a second successive six under par 66 around the Earth course took him to 12 under par for the tournament. The 28 year old gained worldwide attention a year ago when a hole-in-one in the KLM Open won him a trip into outer space. And now after victory ...

There is a log jam of talent atop of the board after the opening day of the DP World Tour Champioship. Australia’s Marcus Fraser was first to go to six under par and then followed by double Major winning Martin Kaymer before being joined by the England duo of Ian Poulter and Andy Sullivan. The four shot six under par 66s with Italy’s Francesco Molinari at five under par and then the leading two Race to Dubai rivals Rory McIlroy and Danny Willett posting four under par 68s. Springbok ...
