An even sweeter victory for our McIlroyRory to kickstart the season! 👏💪
Rory McIlroy has won the Dubai Desert Classic after beating Patrick Reed by a single shot in a gripping final round.
"I just really had to concentrate on focusing on myself, forget who was up there on the leaderboard and I did that really, really well,” McIlroy added on Sky Sports. McIlroy dropped a shot after narrowly missing a putt on the 15th hole, but Reed also dropped a shot on 16 to leave the pair level at the top of the leaderboard.
But the Texas native did putt for a birdie to finish 18-under-par for the week before McIlroy left himself with a putt to win the tournament. “So I didn’t see a tee coming my direction at all, but apparently that’s what happened. And if roles were reversed and I’d have thrown that tee at him, I’d be expecting a lawsuit.”
The lawyer representing Reed in that case also subpoenaed McIlroy and Tiger Woods in regards to the players-only meeting that was held prior to the BMW Championship in August.
