Rory Mcllroy inched closer to securing the Race to Dubai title after part of the lead to the final round of the DP World Tour Championship.

McIlroy mixed six birdies with two bogeys during a four-under 68 on the Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates, moving to 12-under alongside Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard and overnight leader Antoine Rozner.

Hojgaard made six birdies in a seven-hole stretch on his way to a bogey-free 66 and Rozner carded a final-hole eagle to make it a three-way tie at the top, with Joaquin Niemann two back in tied-fourth alongside Sweden's Jesper Svensson.

McIlroy is on the verge of securing the Race to Dubai title and matching Seve Ballesteros' tally of six Order of Merit wins, requiring only a top-11 finish even if Thriston Lawrence - eight back - won, with the world No 3 now also in prime position to win the DP World Tour Championship for a third time.
