Rory McIlroy has secured the Race to Dubai title for the third time in four seasons with a one-shot victory at the DP World Tour Championship on Sunday.
The Northern Irish former world number one shot a six-under-par final round of 66 to finish on 21 under, one clear of England's Andy Sullivan.

McIlroy carded eight birdies in Sunday's first 15 holes to open a two-shot lead over Sullivan, only to find the water with his tee shot on the 17th.
The four-time major winner, however, holed a 30ft putt to salvage a bogey and stay a shot ahead of overnight leader Sullivan, before sealing victory with a par at the last.
England's Danny Willet, meanwhile, finished tied for fourth in Dubai, and second to McIlroy in the season-long standings.
