Mcllroy - Magic always happens on 17th

Monday, November 23 2015 by SNTV
  • Reaction as Rory McIlroy once again is the winner of the Race to Dubai as he takes DP World Tour Championship title by a single shot from Andy Sullivan on Sunday (22nd November).

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Rory McIlroy:

    "I have a knack of doing things on the 17th green. I held a big putt at the Ryder Cup last year on 17 to keep a match alive with Sergio and then I held a couple of big putts on 17 at the matchplay this year and then again on seventeen when I just needed to. I think just being able to go into the memory bank and draw on those things definitely helps and just a little bit lucky I was able to do it again. I put myself in that position - wasn't obviously what I wanted to do - but to be able to get out of that little hole with a putt like that, it made the difference."

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Rory McIlroy:

    "I'm sure there is a few guys that don't agree with the outcome but obviously I am grateful to the European Tour for allowing me to be here this week and to win the Race to Dubai in the amount of events that I have, it just shows that when I have played, I have played well. So I am obviously delighted with how I've played this season and can't wait to play a full European Tour schedule next year."

    SOUNDBITE: (English), Andy Sullivan:

    "For me it doesn't get any better than that really. Maybe one shot better to take him to a play off but it was an awesome day and I gave it everything on that front nine, just couldn't quite get the putts to drop on the back nine. I didn't really hit it close enough again. But just to come up head to head with somebody of Rory's quality it was absolutely awesome and something that will stick with me for a long time going forward."
