With the state of play at the top of the Old World circuit’s rankings pointing to only one thing – a sixth Rory McIlroy victory – the contest for the 10 PGA Tour cards available to those not already in possession has added prominence to the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.
McIlroy will equal the record of the late Seve Ballesteros should he pick up his sixth season-long title and trail only Colin Montgomerie’s eight Race to Dubai titles on the all-time list.
The story of the 72nd green doesn’t begin to tell the story of a final day littered with a whole range of shot-making, all the way from abysmal to amazing.
