Rory McIlroy finished the opening round of the DP World Tour Championship at three-under-par 69, placing him in a share of third, two shots behind leader Joost Luiten. McIlroy, aiming for a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title, delivered a strong performance despite challenging conditions. Spain's Eugenio Chacarra, who leads the Race to Dubai standings, shot a level-par 72, while American Patrick Reed struggled with a three-over 75. The tournament, held at Jumeirah Golf Estates, will determine the season-long champion and also offers 10 PGA Tour cards for next season.
