Heading towards the bunker 12 career top 10s he he’s had and a third of those have come in the last six major Championships left hand side rough though for cam Young ah s maybe just a bit too clean from Rory Dig Dug at the back there still on The Fringe it’s a long way out for maoy just below 120 and the grass is into him horrible lie knife that wouldn’t be bad you could de
Green it and then all of a sudden you come up 10 shy protecting about a protecting that Shooter tell you what it’s pretty good it’s better than good it’s actually 10 out of 10 from camon this is a lot more difficult so very fast allowing for a good yard of Break he’s very good for weight just outside the circle of trust from meloy on the first he’ll be putting up the hill for a second though yeah that’s well done steady power for or on the [Applause] first that’s also a fine bar from cyong getting his up and down from the
Back of the Green looking slightly anxious at it why why would you look anxious at it that’s that is world class one of yours Andrew uh I take two of mine to get there when angle’s [Applause] great so clear that you want to make sure you hit the ball first hands lead a bit more
It’s easy to just do what he’s just done well I was kind of heading in the right direction and then thought better of it didn’t it with six feet to go one a three kind of laying down a mark as well the quality of the
Shot good two puts at the first nice B at the second he’s 18th of the week he him 13 under go head-to-head with Rory mroy who’s been there done that out of his left Caron didn’t manage to hold too many putts yesterday 32 and0 well I look for the speed to stay
Good it’s so easy when the pressure gets on to just get tentative and the he doesn’t want to go anywhere near that kiss I tell you that’s where he wants to go oh watch watch where this land that was not far well I think it would have
Cleared the bunker that’s a Cracker Jack perfect spot flat lie there ideal angle of the flag Superb you reckon that would have cleared the bunker Young’s Club B speed is about 1 mile hour shy I’m not going to get an idea with this one cuz it’s desert Bound this green is notoriously firm 226 to the front that’s held on 20 ft right of of it and play the percentages but it’s one that you could take on right there it’s some marvelous wedges yesterday that was a bit special coming in from a mighty height got a little bit
Of check on it and nearly nearly got the ultimate away from him so this will test his touch H be wind it we’ve seen a lot of PS Miss red on this green the first big moment of the day and the flag is over there on the
Right but it’s not as far right as in previous years 18 one just a smoothie eight iron pretty easily with a nine not enough run and leave this 8 ft High short so you want to fly deep into the green and release it tough shot Rory’s got the same thing
And you leave it high there you got yourself a downhiller you like to see definition in Bunker shots know exactly what you you have to do maoy for his par just what the doctor [Applause] ordered oh this is so slippy you got to hit it softly take Max break
Here it’s the dream start to maroy he’s reeled him in level pegging now yeah that looked a good pot but it certainly wasn’t you try to turn this right to left and penetrate it boom it through it just kind of whiffed it did him a favor really held up against that wind
And I like this more than three would but All Is Forgiven for Rory maoy just trying to squeeze it and hit a fade thus tearing it down low tell me about that then chat okay ladies and gent I walked a few holes with him in the practice round and he hits it it
Only goes about 20 feet in the air goes like a tracer bullet he’s on it today Ken he can take this flag on if he sends it deep into it as a back stop they keep turning not quite enough but that’s okay chance there what a tantalizing battle this is [Applause]
Just didn’t topple down the hill it was dead weight if it had any chance of Falling Towards the water was the right place to do it Opposite teroris did he learn also a fine effort no change [Applause] though 186 milph ball speed but on a beastly hole it’s one of the best out Here there’s a bad hole on this [Applause] layup sniffs an opportunity W Sublime came out so weird think it’s caring flashed both of them lovely t-shirt lovely iron 10 ft pass would be pretty good from here unless of course you use The Fringe like that brave clown beautiful execution from Young he’ll get out of there in fact I might have thrown in a
Curveball there I think he is going to have to go to the Drop Zone maoy typs in for his PA it’s all happening on no I can’t see they taken this off on with the tactics go go Rory go well luckily when you turn it the ball
Generally goes further it’s a poor shot a bad pull but it’s dry the drama we’ve just seen big crowds here today wow what a atmosphere six on found the water yesterday Cameron young cost him two shots he’s dry today well done yeah that was a quality shot he see see where the
Ball lands anything left there it wouldn’t have made the carry it’s a really really strong path three the seventh up a little back in his [Applause] stance class right to left and you can really tell who they are cheering for out here but young needs to embrace it and quite
A s try to silence them Rory being the home [Applause] player little bit of work to do for Cameron young but uh nicely done he have a pat on the back rather than a slap on the thigh hot long this one’s for the P just tidying up for Rory that’s a good
PA need to hit it straight out of the center of the bat he set himself for a cut [Applause] maoy perfect on the left hand side of the Fairway it’s actually hit well it’s going to get to just short of the rock it’s plugged in the waste are on the right hand [Applause]
Side just a knock down nine just a massage one he’s gone ever so slightly down the shaft there to help with that way take a touch of distance off six out of 10 at best for that one he’s going to trap a wedge turn the toe in get the hands forward and collide
With the ball first yeah that’s on the safe side finds the green Cameron young ice skating quick tickly under there it’s looking good it’s looking good what a way to go one more ahead from mckoy the bend on this part oh to find the right weight the right break
Just dying a big uplift in the quality delivers and the consistency more importantly what a time for that oh a bit heavy-handed by cam young here pop up for Cameron young don’t let him get too far away that’s the goal and well done looks pretty
Good can see a little bit of a change in setup from Mel Roy today he’s a bit more open to the Target Happy different Club from cing Young taking a much direct line using the right hand side of this Fairway here and that is is that any good Nick yeah that’ll work he went for that te down option again trying and increase the spin on it takes the yardage off
Which means that he’s never going to chase on through this Fairway yourself little hurt now it comes and it goes as wind it’s [Laughter] fluky delightful and the soft Landing down to the fact that he has great elevation on so many of his shots it’s coming in nicely for Cameron
Young pretty much identical to Rory but it’s going to be him to put first creeping back towards it while you’re over the ball these two player here online didn’t get suck in that Flag now off the left FL on nine he’s got it he’s got it he’s spting the hammer down on the end of this front nine Roy mro making a massive one on eight and following that up with another big one on nine Andrew huge three threes
To finish that front night he likes that finish was four under roberie it’s been a bit of a struggle good save well done and he will move to the nine that’s favored him just as well cuz he’s playing serious catch up needs to try and find a budy luckily
Three par fives in front of him hit driver ble necks down there with a three-w he hits it to the fat part of the Fairway you feel as well with these holes these three par Firs on this n which you would absolutely expect Ro to
Get fours out of if he manages to do that how’ you catch him can he stay out of the right junk he’s hit been hitting these squeezes that sounds good for Cameron young yeah it’s going to take something exceptional from any of these chasing players to catch up with RoR maroy
Heading into the back nine yeah you could tell that he was going for a big four iron there Roy mroy is he going to find a bunker still help but just a 5 Ys of it you got looks very well struck by Cameron young oh just shy he’s a great
Bunker player who need to be it hit that head cover I think viting I’m not going to say he’s going to haul it but you never know it’s about as easy as it gets wonderful execution it was easy but it still needed hitting not one hint of a skip was there
Little bit of an niffy bounce F Rari with the bunker shot this for the birdie and well the chasing Pat will be hoping for more of that sort of stuff on the par FES on this night and if he does miss out on the opportunities there’s still some light left for them
Yeah just a five on the easiest hole on the course so back to the 10th and here’s the opportunity for Cameron young he missed a short one didn’t he over at three but he won’t do that again right in the middle and it is the first birdie
Today for the man who took a two-shot lead into the final round he’s now two behind do not miss it right guys just put the phones inside he has I’m afraid but I like just left itory for all the things that Rory’s brilliant have I think trying to put it
Aiming for a lot of break I’m not sure there’s that much but you’re still fancy this one I called it not going to break P that much what a time to make a bogey for little dinky path three gets caught short sided mroy to tidy up at 11 so the lead is three mroy trying to unleash Dom because we got some help in the air oh there’s trouble
Right although not the right portion of the Fairway normal t height Let It All Hang Out Here full pelt also a hair down the right perhaps just oh my oh my that look like he was thinking about six different things when he was over it there right here this is
The balls above his feet perfect for a draw look out it’s the same shape of shot but with full commitment from Rory that’s lovely young just looked like he wanted to sort of go towards the hole he knew he should respect it and it was sort of caught between shots and he just
Committed to nothing there yeah does he could couldn’t pick it big swing from Young can he find a miracle well pretty much has super recovery that’s incredible cuz that roof is about as thick as you’ll find any anywhere on this golf course no room green above him never really looked in Tamar Ango
Did it to be brutally honest just looked a little tentative if anything didn’t it unforced errors all day young back to 11 underp Palm mroy makes his part and Rory four shots clear of the rest now is six holes to [Applause] playi well we sent it deep into the
Trees you can get lucky over there we shall see not sure a club wasn’t being deposited somewhere from camon Young that’s why it’s a narrow Slither down there just trying to get it out of the cabbage after a shocking t-shot a necky cut oh CH shy in the front bunker
Maoy so up ahead just 108 for cam young here what a moment smooth gap wedge yeah it’s pretty good it’s a difficult flag to find from the Fairway there 11 13 have been easier if he just laid up short at the green going to pitch
This up top and hope that it comes to attention sit down what a lad of spin is there oh it’s difficult Andrew oh it’s a big put for Camy young here on 13 oh he didn’t hit it short in line for cam Yong he’s going to have a few regrets
When he sits back and thinks about but Billy Wes a gunning Le close and that’s his first poy I make it in 38 holes here at the Emirates a of light for those chasing three-wood dog leg from right to left he doesn’t mess around this young
He gets on with it plays at a great Pace it’s perfect right in the middle of the Fairway for Camy young you never know what you’re going to get but usually it’s Dynamic go go go asking this to go maybe on the tight line to the left great angle
Here let got to find a different gear over these final five holes well good line difficult put to hold notorious Le it’s a big swing from macaron From the Rough he finds the green on the right hand side but that’s basically as good as he could have done he’s a long way
Away for two maoy on 14 want to break a whole heap who what a b yeah I never had the line camong with this birdie put young for par stays three behind he been very unflattering today Cameron young I don’t realize quite how far pass this had rolled for Rory
But he makes his pass so he stay is at 14 under one ahead of three clear of his playing partner a shot of a genius looking back into the Setting Sun can’t see it at all oh that’s just a couple of Paces shy of getting a good
Bounce and getting closer to the H camong here as I said 35 ft R of it better than good oh what’s he done what’s he done I think it looks pretty safe half of the green you would think indeed it is follows into that safe little space there
Down yeah it’s funny everybody’s left at a long way ride of the hall it’s good for paace for camong down Green Just a bit shy and under the hall for [Applause] mckoy back to the 15th melroy for par now to to finish his championship off the wind has disappeared there’s only a few yards of it so you can you don’t want to take this corner on down the left hand
Side cuz the rough juts out severely yeah that looks pretty good for camong straight down the guts Beautiful t-shot by the American need to maybe he aims it at it today and tries to peel it off but he seems to live in he seems to live in that left
Rough I think it’s a great point we I think he’s he knows that with his power and his length he can easily run out of room down that right side he’s done exactly as you’ve said oh dear there are [Applause] Some it’s not really good enough to threaten this whole on the left hand side of the green tell you what he’s done well there the danger was popping it up catching the trees that’s an outstanding shot right of the crunch grain’s all down and it’s out of
His right leaving the flag in he’s a great player he’s box office and he does things that not many [Applause] can out of Cameron Young’s right hasn’t been his day yet well I was about to say he’s due one and Cameron young does find the birdie
So he moves to 12 under and he is within two of mroy with two holes to play and what too fany open up the angle that’ll do just fine no go so [Applause] hard CH with a red cap saw it come down and setting up for a high
Fade he got the right line oh my goodness I believe this won’t be a problem for a great chipper like Ross or will it yeah he’s short sided the last sitting down but he’s coming downwind downhill where it’s going to land it seems to e away again but you
Never know this for the birdie oh oh no sitting a bit of fluffy grass though it’s not easy young for par at 17 oh it’s a horrible five a truly horrible five at this stage is a reachable power four in one right at the death of this great Championship he’s found
Aogi is over the back line Rory M hasn’t made a birdie he’s still ahead go on Ry however that is somewhat helpful that’s an absolute Peach off the 18th for maroy that’s a nice drive from Cameron young but he’ll be feeling it now that chance of the first
Victory looks at all the world like it’s gone begging again into the setting sun which is awkward be the one he [Applause] said Hold the top of your [Applause] glasses three shots from here and it’s his it’s a t shot it was a classy shot it should be a tournament winning
Shot yeah well done very well done quality golf all week just came up a little short [Applause] Today well if you’ve got two take them and it is for Ferrari in the desert his love affair with Dubai [Applause] continues maroy the 2024 hero Dubai Desert Classic champion and the first man since Steven Galler to go backto back in the Desert Classic as well [Applause]
Second last week he has gone one better here at his favorite tournament it’s a third Rolex series title let us hear from our champion talking to Tim Rory many congratulations you’ve successfully defended the hero Dubai Desert Classic and become the first man in his 35e history to win four times how
Special as this moment yeah it’s really cool um I you know I didn’t really think about that during the uh the the course of the round um you know it was a really tricky day it was hard to to get a close and make a ton of birdies and um you
Know the pivotal point for me I feel came on the eth and the ninth pole making two threes there uh that sort of set me up to to sort of try and control it on the way in and um you know I made that one you know one blunder on 13 and
And made Boogie there but I felt like I studied the ship well over the last few holes and um yeah it was it was one of those days where you know there wasn’t a ton of fireworks just because the course was so difficult
But I held on as best as I could and uh you know thankfully no one around the um the top of the leaderboard made a made much of a run came into the weekend on three underpar 10 behind the leaders shot 11 underpar over the weekend to win
This thing where does that rank in your greatest ever comebacks yeah so I I thought the way the golf course was trending um I thought 267s would would really have a chance so um you know obviously the the 63 yesterday put me in a great position but yeah I thought you
Know on Friday night I thought 10 under for the weekend I’d you know I’d have a really good chance to win I shot 11 and ended up winning by one so uh play played the game long enough now to sort of know why these things are going to go
And uh you know thankfully I played the golf I needed to uh and just you know incredible to to get my fourth win here at the Emirates two behind at the start of the day four ahead at one point with six holes to play then Adrien makes a
Couple of birdies you make a bogey it’s very tight what’s going through your mind at that stage then I thought just steady the ship I I knew you know I didn’t biry 10 uh and I didn’t you know I didn’t even par 13 you know those are
The two birdy holes on the on the at the start of the back nine so I just thought I’d steady the ship if if I could make um I felt like if I could make par on 14 15 and 16 I wasn’t going to lose much
Grind then uh and then obviously I had two chances on the last two holes ended up didn’t need to didn’t need to birdy one of them but um you know my game plan was for those last five get through those first three and even par and then
Take my chances at the last two second and first in your first two starts of this year what sort of platform does that give you to build towards major season which is obviously always your major Focus yeah um yeah it’s a it’s a great start to the season um you know I
Started well last year with the win here uh I was a little more in in dramatic Fashion on the last screen compared to that there but um it’s a it’s a great platform to build from um I know I’m playing good golf there’s still a couple
Of Misses off the te left you know one got me on 18 um last week you know I missed I missed a t- shot left on 13 today which sort of cost me a shot and then one on 16 as well um which nearly
Cost me a shot I made a good par there so couple little things still to work on but um you know these weeks are great you you learn a ton from them um and obviously great to get the competition and and come out on top as well Rory many many congratulations well played
Cheers Tim thank you I guess meloy moves past to Ernie else Ernie had won this title three times as well but now a four time winner of the hero Dubai Desert Classic a very honest appraisal Ken of his week’s work and one of two shots that he needs to straighten
Out there was a lot of lot of good mixed amongst it the point he made about birding eight and nine was they were two very tough holes and to go three3 there tremendous deserving Champion a real Champion what Joy he brought us this week Here There and Everywhere at times
And that wonderful 63 on day three was incredibly impressive when he’s on there’s no one [Applause] better David he was slightly reluctant wasn’t he to cast too far forward in the significance of this start of the season and this Victory but what sort of platform do you feel that gives Roy for
The season ahead winning is always good for the confidence isn’t it even if you’re Rory maroy um he wants to get back to being known as the world’s best player he wants to win major championships amongst other great championships like this of course so it’s a supreme start it could easily
Have gone win-win it didn’t happen last week but finally the trophy is his to take home this week and I think it’s a great platform of course it is he’ll be looking forward to this season with a lot of enthusiasm after this performance new driver in the bag as
Well the start of the year plus a new ball and they’ve worked pretty darn well and some of those t-shots he hits today were the impressive ones were impressive that the t-sh the second was breathtaking it was an absolute worldy wasn’t it to watch another DP world to video
