Rory McIlroy’s Remarkable Abu Dhabi Record Awaits Completion
Rory McIlroy has shown exceptional consistency in Abu Dhabi throughout his career, yet one notable achievement still eludes him.
Achievements and Goals
After a year that has arguably exceeded his expectations, the five-time Major champion has several objectives left to accomplish. Among these, winning a seventh Race To Dubai title stands out, bringing him within one of Colin Montgomerie’s record for most victories.
The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Challenge
Despite 11 appearances at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, McIlroy has never claimed victory. He has finished as runner-up four times and in third place five times, either sharing the spot or alone.
"The former World No.1 lost out by a single stroke in 2012, 2014 and 2015, as Robert Rock, Pablo Larrazabal and Gary Stal each took the spoils."
Stal's 2015 win was particularly surprising, as he overcame an eight-stroke deficit after 54 holes to outplay notable Ryder Cup players at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
Summary
McIlroy’s quest to secure his first Abu Dhabi title continues to be a compelling storyline amid his illustrious career.
