Rory McIlroy won the DP World Tour Championship in magnificent fashion here yesterday when he birdied the last five holes to beat Justin Rose by two shots.

In the season-ending championship of the European Tour at the Earth course of Jumeirah Golf Estates, World No 1 McIlroy had fallen two shots behind the fast-charging Rose after a bogey on the 13th hole.

World No 7 Rose, who set a new course record with a bogey-free round of 10-under par 62, had set the clubhouse target of 21-under par 267.


But McIlroy easily moved ahead with a brilliant display of golf down the stretch, and after playing the final par-5 hole conservatively — he laid up with his second shot — he made his birdie putt from 12 feet to close with a round of six-under par 66.

It was the fifth win of the season for the reigning USPGA champion.u00a0
