G-Mac staying cool as Race to Dubai heats up
McDowell birdied three holes in succession from the 14th to finish with a level par 72, four shots behind Stenson and six behind Spain’s Alejandro Canizares, who heads the DP World Tour Championship with a six under par 66.
Canizares was thankful his pre-event preparations were not seriously disrupted when his girlfriend was denied a seat aboard Sunday night’s Turkish Airlines charter flight to the UAE. It was only through the intervention of Tour officials in Dubai, and in cooperation with UAE immigration officers, she was allowed on the flight, with Canizares confessing he had forgotten, for a second occasion en route to the UAE, to apply for a visa for her.
