Impact McIlroy started the final round as well as you could possibly hope going birdie-eagle. Unfortunately, dropped shots on 3 and 6 halted his momentum pretty hard. McIlroy added three more birdies coming in, but played the last seven holes in just one-over to finish four shots back of Jon Rahm. This was a much better showing than the T42 last month in India and now it puts McIlroy just outside of 500 points behind Eugenio Chacarra for the top spot in the Race to Dubai. With increased points on the line at next week's DP World Tour Championship, a record-tying eighth European Order of Merit title is very much in play. McIlroy has three prior wins at the Earth Course in Dubai.
