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.

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.

Justin Rose and Shane Lowry clearly know what they need to do when it comes to walking away with the Race to Dubai title with a win sorting out all the likely DP World Tour Championship scenarios. Rose heads into the tournament third in the standings, 650,999 points behind leader Rory McIlroy, with Lowry a further 51,480 points back in fourth, but with 1,333,330 points on offer this week, a win for either player would give them a good chance of finishing the season at the top of the pile.
