Rory McIlroy is still strolling serenely to a third straight Race to Dubai title and sixth overall after the third round of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai.
McIlroy, 35, held a commanding lead atop the DP World Tour Rankings heading into this week where only South Africa's Thriston Lawrence could catch him in the Race to Dubai.
Lawrence needed to win the DP World Tour Championship and then hope McIlroy finished outside the top 10.
