McIlroy carded six birdies and a solitary bogey in an opening 67 matched by Ryder Cup team-mate Tyrrell Hatton, with England’s Paul Waring, who won in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, a shot off the pace
Rory McIlroy claimed a share of the lead on day one of the DP World Tour Championship to further tighten his grip on a sixth Race to Dubai title.
Playing alongside McIlroy in the first round at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Lawrence could only manage an opening 73. “I made some nice pars around the middle of the round when a couple of holes could have got away from me and then I finished well with the birdies on 14 and 17.”
