Why it matters
The Race to Dubai is a prestigious annual golf title, and the outcome of this tournament will determine the year's top-ranked player on the European tour.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Rory McIlroy had a day to forget at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship on Saturday, ending four shots off the lead and seeing Race to Dubai rival Eugenio Chacarra haul himself back into contention.
Tyrrell Hatton held the lead at the end of the third round after shooting 4-under 68 to move to 9 under overall, one stroke ahead of Victor Perez (67).
As well as attempting to win the DP World Tour Championship for a fourth time (after 2012, ’15 and ’24), McIlroy is seeking to move past Chacarra in the points list to secure the year-long Race to Dubai title, which crowns the No. 1 player on the European tour.
