Emotional Ulsterman proud to match Seve's six titles with third straight Race To Dubai
-
World No. 3 Rory McIlroy ended the season on a high by winning the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai on Nov 17, two strokes ahead of Dane Rasmus Hojgaard, to seal his sixth Race to Dubai title.
The 35-year-old Northern Irishman carded a three-under 69 in the final round at the Jumeirah Golf Estates to finish on 15-under 273, after two birdies in the final three holes saw off the challenge of Hojgaard.
McIlroy equalled the six titles won by the late Seve Ballesteros in the European Tour's season-long Race to Dubai, previously called the Order of Merit. Scotland's Colin Montgomerie holds the record with eight victories.
"It's really cool. I think everyone knows what Seve means to European golf, to Ryder Cup players," a visibly emotional McIlroy said.
"The European Ryder Cup locker room, all we have are quotes of Seve. We had a changing room with Seve's shirt from 1995, the last Ryder Cup he played.
