Rory McIlroy triumphs in the Dubai Desert Classic

Rory McIlroy has won the Omega Dubai Desert Classic by three shots after a closing round of 70 saw him finish the tournament on 22 under par.

McIlroy's first ever professional win came at the tournament six years ago and after four consecutive top-ten finishes the Coffee Pot Trophy once again belongs to the 25-year-old.

Rounds of 66, 64 and 66 had given the Holywood native a four-shot lead going into the final day and although he registered his first bogey since the opening round on the seventh hole today, no one could come close.

A birdie on three got the ball rolling and although he bogeyed the par-four seventh, under-par scores at 10 and 13 extended his advantage.

McIlroy was consistent as he parred the remaining five holes to capture his 10th European Tour win.

Alex Noren, who played just two events in 2014 due to tendinitis in both wrists, finished second after an impressive six-under final round of 65 saw him leap up the leaderboard from eighth to finish on 19 under par.

Stephen Gallacher, who won the tournament both in 2013 and 2014, failed to replicate the form he showed on the first two days.

Gallacher finished with four birdies in the back nine, but dropped shots on the first and 14th meant he finished third on 16 under.

England's Andy Sullivan failed to finish strongly with a bogey on 15 bringing an end to his challenge, while a dropped shot on the last meant he finished in fourth, with a two-under final round of 70.

Martin Kaymer was the day's big mover as he closed with a final-round 64 to jump 30 places and finish level with Sullivan on 15 under par.

France's Gary Stal also finished in fifth after four under on the final day, with Bernd Wiesberger also finishing 15 under.

Morten Orum Madsen, who started the day in second, was left ruing a seven on the opening hole and two dropped shots on the back nine as he finished on 15 under.

Graeme McDowell finished on 14 under to finish in a tie for ninth place. Michael Hoey posted a four under finish, with Peter Lawrie a shot further back, while McGrane closed the weekend on three over par.
