McIlroy's legacy is secure, but he's not ready to lay up

RORY MCILROY at the DP World Tour Championship as he goes for a seventh Race to Dubai title.

The questions Rory Mcllroy found so annoying in the months after his greatest feat in golf still linger. Where is the next mountain? What else is there to achieve?

Now that he is nearing the end of a most sensational year, Mcliroy realizes the answer lies in the form of another question.

What does it matter?

There is always something more, even if more resembles a molehill compared with winning the Masters for the career Grand Slam. Mcllroy was reminded of that Tuesday at the DP World Tour Championship, where he is closing in on a seventh Race to Dubaititle.

Colin Montgomerie holds the record of eight times being Europe’s No. 1 player.

“To get one closer to Monty would be amazing,” Meliroy said.

Career changing? Hardly. The European tour never named an award after Montgomerie as it did for Meliroy on Tuesday, given to the player who performs the best inthe majors.

“I spent the last 18 years chasing,” McIlroy said, mentioning the Sir Henry Cotton Award for the best rookie, the Harry Vardon Award for the season title and the Seve Ballesteros Award as player of the year. Mellroy is not eligible for this latest award because his name is onit.
