Yeah apparently he picked up some kind of stomach bug in China and his white blood cell count is low at the moment so he's nowhere near fully fit. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

"You make it sound as if I'm on my last leg," McIlroy joked on Golf Channel’s “Morning Drive” on Tuesday. "It's not so bad. My energy levels just haven't been 100 percent. Just got more tests done today and have to wait on the results. But I feel fine. Need to do all I can to catch Luke."

He's fine, he won last week with it so it can't be that bad

Even though he may be fine, it does not guarentee he will play...It would be one thing if it was a Major, if he isn't 100% I could see him not playing just because it is Dubai, Though this is an up and coming event in my opinion

This is an important tournament on the European Tour, the climax of the Race to Dubai. Similar to the FedEx Cup Final on the PGA Tour. This isn't something like Hong Kong or a Fall Series event. I'm pretty sure he is going to play.

Looks like a hot field but think Kaymer must have a great chance out of the spotlight of the Donald v McIlroy money list race. He has hot form recently and has the experience of winning at courses in this region.

Found a good preview here if anyone is interested: http://www.liveoddsandscores.com/dubai-world-championship/493618/golf-dubai-world-championship-odds-and-betting-preview-can-luke-donald-complete-the-money-list-doubl

So Rory's first 3 holes consist of 2 tap in birdies and a double bogey 7...

And that is the last of my viewing today. I'm off to study some delightful econometrics

I have to correct myself. Afterall the start isn't ugly at all.

What a back9 by Rory. And Luke looked very shaky on his back9, not a good round for him.

The Race just got interesting

Pretty shocking turn around in the back 9 there.

McIlroy 30 and Donald 39!

Pity I couldn't see any of it.

Donald hit the ball with a big hook off the tee on three conesecutive holes and his distance control with his irons was way off. And the putter couldn't save it.

McIlroy on the other hand made every putt he looked at on the back 9 and drove it on a string.

I'm not surprised at this (rory doing well or Luke's subpar round).  In another thread I made mention of the fact that Luke's emotional roller coaster within the past month:  new child born as well as the unexpected death of his father. I couldn't imagine going thru that sequence of events while trying to maintain a high level of golf at the same time...

Luke Donald talking about himself in the 3rd person??

Quote:
“Well, it was certainly a lot of pressure out there,” Donald said. “It’s just that I’ve got to handle it. I’m making a little bit too many unforced errors and I need to play the weekend like Luke Donald knows how to play."

      Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow.

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
