Last week saw the last event of the desert swing on the European Tour from the Emirates GC. World number 1, Rory McIlroy produced an immaculate display of front running to win the Omega Dubai Desert Classic for the second time in his career.
Rory, who had been in front since his awesome round of 64 on Friday, finished with a two under par 70 on Sunday afternoon to win by three shots on a tournament record equalling 22 under par!
McIlroy made this his maiden professional title back in 2009, and was delighted to end a string of runner-up finishes by going one better.
Rory’s form has been amazing, winning four of his last seven European Tour events and runner-up in the other three. He is 5/1 to win 2 majors this year which is very poor odds but how could you back against him with how good his game is now. My prediction is he will win the Masters in April and dominate The Open Championship at St Andrews.
