DP WORLD TOUR : Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Weather Leaderboard
He may have run out of holes to win this week, but with a stunning 62, bidie eagle start, 8 birdies including 5 straight from 10-14, no bogeys, Rory McIlroy has stormed into the clubhouse T1 -24, which pretty much assures him of winning his 7th Race to Dubai title next week.
However with 3 holes to play, Fleetwood -24, Rai -24, Hojgaard -23, Hillier -23...I sense a playoff, although for the outright win my money would be on Tommy..
edit >>>> Aaron Rai birdied his last 3 (67) holes to catch and tie Tommy Fleetwood 66 at -25 to force a playoff.
Moments later both players were on the par 5 18th in 3 shots. Fleetwood missed his from 12 feet, then Rai made his from 9 feet for the win. The 1,318,103 euros prize is worth $2,140,467 cdn dollars.

The top 50 have now been decided as they move up the road to the Earth course in Dubai for next week's Tour Championship.
England's Marco Penge, a three time winner on Tour this year shot a stunning 63 to finish T9 at -20, with that he is the only player with enough points that could catch Rory next week, as unlikely as that may be. He would need to win, with Rory nearly last.
