Rory rises to the top
RORY MCILROY reckons he’s back to his best as he takes a one-shot lead into today’s round of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
The Northern Irishman is a two-time winner of the European Tour’s seasonending event and a third victory here would make it back-to-back wins worldwide after his PGA Tour triumph at the CJ Cup last month.
He will head into the final round over the Earth Course at 14 under, one shot clear of England’s Sam Horsfield and two ahead of Scot Robert Macintyre and Swede Alexander Bjork.
Mcilroy, who carded a third-round 67 yesterday, said: “I’m right where I want to be. I want to be contending on Sundays in tournaments and feel like I’m back to playing the way I should and the way that will get me back contending.
“I’m excited to go out there and try to pick up another one.”
Collin Morikawa shot a 69 to sit three shots off the lead and remained in pole position to become the first American to take the Race to Dubai title and be crowned Europe’s No.1.
