Rory McIlroy won the season-ending DP World Tour Championship on Sunday. The Northern Irishman clinched his sixth Race to Dubai title by holding off Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard at the Jumeirah Golf Estates. With this, the four-time major champion equaled the legendary Severiano Ballesteros’ title record.
McIlroy finished two strokes ahead of Hojgaard after carding a three-under-par 69 in the final round. The 35-year-old golfer topped the European tour's season rankings for the third year in succession. Having matched Ballesteros' record of six titles, the ace golfer revealed his ambition to beat Colin Montgomerie’s record of eight.
The two-time PGA Championship winner reiterated winning his ‘third (title) in a row’ and admitted to making winning The Race to Dubai a “priority” of his schedule.
