All to play for as Dubai looming on the horizon
Whether they’re at the head of affairs, like Rory McIlroy, who is poised to head the orders of merit on both sides of the Atlantic, or dangerously close to the cut line of the 120 players who retain their cards, there is still plenty to play for over the coming three months or so.
McIlroy’s recent victory in the USPGA Championship not only restored him to the number one position in the world rankings but also sent him more than 400,000 points ahead of Justin Rose at the top of the Race to Dubai points list and moved him to within touching distance of Tiger Woods in the USPGA tour order of merit. There were further changes at the end of the Deutsche Bank tournament in Boston last night.
