Race to Dubai winner Rory McIlroy, speaking to Sky Sports: “Got off to the perfect start. Three under through five, four under through seven and felt like I had sort of taken control of the tournament, was a couple ahead and then I made two bogeys on the way in and didn’t birdie 14 and 15, the birdie holes and knew I needed something to happen on the last.
“I knew what I needed to do. I was lucky to see Rasmus putt before mine so got a bit of a read. It was agreat way to finish and summon what I needed to, to make the play-off but unfortunately it went into the water in the play-off and put me behind the eight ball.
“I am happy for Matt. He has had a great end of season. Played great to get on the Ryder Cup team and has played great since as well.”
