RORY MCILROY HAS won the Race to Dubai for a record-equalling eighth time.
McIlroy edged out Eugenio Chacarra in a tense battle at the DP World Tour Championship, where McIlroy finished on 10-under after a final round of 67 to take second place while the Spaniard was two shots back on eight-under, carding a 69.
McIlroy now joins Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie as the only eight-time European winner of the season-long title.

The back-to-back Masters champion put himself in a strong position for victory at Jumeirah Golf Estates with a birdie at 16. And although he parred the last two holes, it was enough to stay at the top of rankings as Chacarra’s challenge fell short.
WHAT A GOLF SHOT, RORY!
Rory moves to solo second on the leaderboard, which means he's projected first on the Race to Dubai!
