South African was only player that could pip McIlroyMcIlroy now level with Seve Ballesteros on all-time list
Rory McIlroy claimed the sixth Race to Dubai title of his career after Thriston Lawrence finished in midfield at the DP World Tour Championship.
The Northern Irishman only needed a top-11 finish at Jumeirah Golf Estates to reach the summit of the season rankings, with Lawrence the only player able to deny him with a win in Dubai. However, the South African’s challenge never materialised and when he came home in one under par for the event, McIlroy secured his third successive Race to Dubai crown with five holes left in his final round.
