Race to Dubai: McIlroy and Chacarra set for Sunday showdown at season-ending World Tour Championship
Dubai, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Rory McIlroy faced a challenging day at the season-ending World Tour Championship on Saturday, finishing four shots behind the leader and seeing his Race to Dubai rival Eugenio Chacarra climb back into contention. McIlroy is vying for a record-tying eighth Race to Dubai title, alongside Colin Montgomerie.
The event concluded with Tyrrell Hatton holding the lead at the end of the third round, one shot ahead of Victor Perez. McIlroy, currently ranked second in the world, started the day tied for the 36-hole lead with Hatton but dropped to four-under overall after an even par 72. Chacarra, a 26-year-old Spaniard, leads McIlroy in the Race to Dubai standings by nearly 534 points.
