The Race to Dubai has 3 weeks left as the playoffs continue this week with the Turkish Airlines Open at the fabulously rich Regnum Carya Golf and Spa Resort set on an immaculate white sand beach overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, billed as an unparalleled private paradise in Belek-Antalya, southern Turkey.

Tommy Fleetwood still leads the Race, although his form has slipped of late, he hasn't broke 70 in nearly a month, however despite recent wins by Sergio and Justin Rose, he remains at the head of the rankings with 4,050,351 points, Garcia is in second with 3,184,581 and Rose is now in third spot on 2,993,754. Jon Rahm 2,898,457 is 4th, Tyrrell Hatton 2,561,237 5th and Ross Fisher 6th 2,492,831

Rahm, Garcia and Fisher are not playing this week, Fleetwood is T42 after E71 today, Rose T19 -2 69, Hatton T10 -4 67.

There is a three way tie for the lead at the end of round one. Belgian Nicholas Colsaerts, former world #1 amateur from South African ,Haydn Porteous and Dutchman, Joost Luiten all shot -7 64's.

Padraig Harrington and Andres Romero shot 65's then Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Matthieu Pavon, Eddie Pepperell and Ian Poulter with 66 are at -5. In the perfect weather, 41 of the 78 man field are under par with a Rolex Series prize fund of $7,000,000 US.
