DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Rory McIlroy captured the season-long Race to Dubai golf title on the European tour for a record-tying eighth time when secured a top-two finish at the World Tour Championship on Sunday.
McIlroy joined Colin Montgomerie atop the all-time list of winners of the previously named “Order of Merit” award, adding another significant achievement on the resume of a player who has done pretty much everything in golf — notably the career Grand Slam.
