Rory McIlroy blew a great chance to win the DP World Tour Championship on Sunday, after fortune gifted the Race to Dubai title winner an opportunity to enjoy a pressure-free finale to an exceptional year.

Instead, McIlroy was left to watch defending champion Henrik Stenson triumph on the Jumeirah Golf Estates course, netting a staggering $8 million prize in the process.

That spectacular shot positioned McIlroy to par the 18th. It marked the 15th time he reached par on the day, a testament to his consistency, as well as his coolness under pressure.

That latter quality is not something leaderboard rival Stenson could lay claim to earlier on. The Swede hit a double bogey on the 11th, just three holes after a bogey at the eighth.

However, the par on last hole will haunt McIlroy. He hadn't made the most of his good luck which even afforded the chance of an eagle.



That kept things interesting and let Justin Rose and Stenson hang ...
