Rory McIlroy shares the lead with Tyrrell Hatton heading into the weekend at the DP World Tour Championship on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. The world No 2 posted opening rounds of 69 and 70 to sit on five under par alongside Hatton.
Chasing History in Dubai
The leading star aims to win the event for a fourth time and move above Eugenio Chacarra in the Race to Dubai standings. Achieving this feat would allow him to match Colin Montgomerie’s record by securing an eighth Order of Merit title.
First-round leader Joost Luiten sits one shot behind the leaders alongside Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan. Jon Rahm is three strokes off the pace, while Chacarra enters the weekend four shots behind the leaders.
