Rory McIlroy prize money in full as he wins Dubai Desert Classic

Rory McIlroy has pocketed over €1.4million after winning the Dubai Desert Classic.

The final round in the Middle East was pushed back a day after rain interfered with play late last week.

The Holywood native had a three-shot lead going into the final round after a late blunder on Sunday gave the chasing pack renewed hope of preventing his third win in the event.

But a final round of 68 just saw McIlroy edge out his rival in the Middle East as he sunk a huge putt on the final hole to clinch victory.

His final round included five birdies and one bogey as Reed battled him all the way at the Emirates Golf Club.

McIlroy dropped a shot after narrowly missing a putt on the 15th hole, but Reed also dropped a shot on 16 to leave the pair level at the top of the leaderboard.

The American then held his nerve to par the 17th before McIlroy sank a birdie putt on the same hole to take a one-shot lead into the final hole.

The world number one narrowly avoided the water from his tee shot on the 18th as he watched Reed miss an eagle putt on the same hole.

But the Texas native did putt for a birdie to finish 18-under-par for the week before McIlroy left himself with a putt to win the tournament.

And he held his nerve to sink a massive putt to secure victory by a single shot.
