Rory McIlroy's injury-hit season ends on a high in Dubai

Rory McIlroy survived a dramatic lapse in concentration to end his injury-hit season in style with victory in the DP World Tour Championship to claim a third Race to Dubai title in the last four years.

After starting the final round a shot behind England’s Andy Sullivan, McIlroy carded eight birdies in the first 15 holes to surge into a two-shot lead with two holes to play, only to then find the water with a terrible tee shot on the 17th.
