Rory McIlroy: 'I could have gone lower'

Rory McIlroy has revealed that he was slightly frustrated with his third-round score of 65 at the DP World Tour Championship.

The world number three sits one shot behind leader Andy Sullivan after his seven-under-par round, but while he is happy with his current position, he has insisted that he could have recorded a better score.

The 26-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "You can't walk off this golf course having shot seven under and not feel too good about yourself but I felt like the round could have been a lot better.

"But I'm playing lovely and I'm in the position where I want to be going into tomorrow."

McIlroy will win the season-long Race to Dubai crown providing that he finishes ahead of Danny Willett, and Justin Rose does not claim a top-two place.
