Stenson set to win Race to Dubai

European Tour DP World Tour Championship leaderboard

You have to go down to T13 -7 to find Alex Noren (69), down to T22 for Rory MccIlroy (68) and Henrik Stenson (70) then way down to Danny Willett (76) T51.

They are the four guys who can win it all this week, but none are in contention with the French leader Victor Dubuisson 70 69 64 -13 who has picked up Justin Thomas's caddie for last week and this to great effect, T3 last week at the Nedbank and now leading this week.

So I've done the math, If Noren wins, Stenson would need to finish runner up, if Noren finishes as high as 2nd, Henrik has to finish in the top 8 to win it all.

The numbers dictate that Rory McIlroy can still win it all but he needs to win and Stenson finish outside the top 45 to have any chance of retaining his Race to Dubai title for a third successive year. Danny Willett’s hopes ended with a third round 76.

The top ten on the Race to Dubai at the end of the season will share a $5million Bonus Pool with $1.25 million going to the Number One, down to $250,000 for tenth place.
Dubuisson with a hot back nine moved to -13 one stroke clear of nearest challengers Nicolas Colsaerts, Tyrrell Hatton and Matthew Fitzpatrick while Rafa Cabrera Bello's 63 was the lowest score of the day, was another shot back on -11 with Lee Westwood and Francesco Molinari.
