Rock-steady Rory McIlroy Grabs Record Fourth Title In Dubai Desert Classic
Hero Dubai Desert Classic: Rory McIlroy (70) stood rock steady over the final nine as his main rivals Adrian Meronk (71) and Cameron Young (74) rose and fell over the final round as the World No. 2 maintained his love affair with the Dubai Desert Classic as he successfully defended the title and won it for a record fourth time eclipsing the previous best of three by Ernie Els.
A week after seeing his one-shot lead turn into a 1-shot loss on the 72nd hole, McIlroy played the steadiest of back nines and from being 10 behind after 36 holes, he was first past the line. In 18 holes from the start of the third day to the turn at the nine, McIlroy was bogey-free and 12-under, while Young and Meronk had their blips.
As McIlroy won at 14-under, Meronk was second at 13-under and Young finished a disappointing third at 12-under. If the first two days belonged to Young, the last day had McIlroy stamped all over.
