McGinley: Dunne’s career start better than McIlroy’s

Paul McGinley reckons Paul Dunne’s first two years as a professional golfer may have already eclipsed Rory McIlroy’s.

It’s a bold claim but one that perfectly encapsulates just how hot Dunne’s streak is on the course right now as he looks to build on his run of impressive form with a gruelling five-week run starting with a WGC debut in China and stops in Turkey, South Africa, Dubai and Australia.

Dunne claimed a maiden tour title when holding off the challenge of none other than McIlroy at the British Masters earlier this month and he has followed it up with decent showings at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and the Italian Open.
