English golfer Tyrrell Hatton is tied with Rory McIlroy after the culmination of round 1 at the ongoing DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Both the players carded 5-under to settle on the top spot on Thursday.

McIlroy was the Race to Dubai leader going into the finale event and is touted to win the season-long standings. He is also one of the favorites to win the DP World Tour Championship. Hatton has proved himself to be a tough competition as well.

"To be honest I feel like the score was better than it felt. I felt I was tinkering over most tee shots and at times, I felt like my misses were bigger than perhaps they have been over the last month or so, month and a half."
