Rory McIlroy emerged victorious after a tense tussle with Patrick Reed in the last round of the Dubai Desert Classic.
The world number one birdied the final two holes to shoot a four-under 68 and finish on 19 under to win by one shot.
Northern Irishman McIlroy had led the field by three shots overnight but Reed picked up six shots in his first 11 holes to wipe out that advantage.
McIlroy responded with three birdies and, after the American birdied 18 to draw level, holed a 20-footer to win.
More to follow.

exciting stuff, great effort from Reed but McIlroy just had enough, didn't fancy Rory to hole that one
