McIlroy catches Stenson in Dubai

The top two players in the Race to Dubai were fittingly poised to do battle for the DP World Tour Championship title in Dubai.

World number one Rory McIlroy, who secured a second money list title in three years with an event to spare, began today's third round just two shots off the lead at Jumeirah Golf Estates, but all too aware that halfway front-runner and defending champion Henrik Stenson would be a tough man to catch.
