Shane Lowry in positive mood over Race to Dubai title hopes

Ireland’s Shane Lowry is “quietly confident” he can defy the odds and win the DP World Tour Championship and a first Race to Dubai title this week.

Lowry is one of seven players in contention to end the season as European number one, although the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational champion needs to finish second or better in Dubai to have a chance of overhauling Rory McIlroy.
