Sun Nov 17 10:40:00 UTC 2024: ## McIlroy in Contention for Third DP World Tour Championship Title

**Dubai, UAE** – Rory McIlroy is vying for his third DP World Tour Championship title after a strong third round performance at Jumeirah Golf Estates. The Northern Irishman shot a four-under-par 68, placing him in a three-way tie for the lead with Rasmus Hojgaard of Denmark and Antoine Rozner of France.

McIlroy, already assured of winning the Race to Dubai for a sixth time, aims to add another trophy to his collection. “My goal is to be on that 18th green with a chance to win two trophies instead of one,” he stated. This year has seen McIlroy secure two PGA Tour victories and the Dubai Desert Classic, though he fell short at the US Open, finishing second to Bryson DeChambeau.

Hojgaard, who led early with six birdies in his first eight holes, finished with a six-under-par 66. Rozner’s eagle putt on the 18th secured his place alongside the leaders. Joaquin Niemann and Jesper Svensson trail by two strokes, with Tyrrell Hatton a further shot behind. The final round promises a thrilling conclusion to the European Tour’s season-ending tournament.
