Rory McIlroy remains on course to complete the ‘Dubai double’ of DP World Tour Championship and Race to Dubai glory after taking a share of the lead into the final round of the season.


McIlroy struggled on the greens before birdieing three of his last five holes to post a four-under 68 at Jumeirah Golf Estates, lifting the Northern Irishman to 13 under alongside Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen.


The world No 2 is defending champion and looking to win the DP World Tour's season finale for a fourth time, with McIlroy also closing on securing the Race to Dubai title for a seventh time and fourth successive year.
