Graeme McDowell is going on nine months without a top 10 on any tour, so he is eager to get this year behind him and start all over again.
He gets to do both in a span of three weeks.
Last week in Hong Kong, this week in Turkey, and that will be the end of his European Tour season.
McDowell is No. 64 in the Race to Dubai, and barring a big finish at the Turkish Airlines Open, he will finish out of the top 50 in Europe for the first time since 2006.
