The last time Rory McIlroy competed in Turkey, he "gave up a bit" during his first match in the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final, lost his remaining two as well and finished last in the eight-man exhibition event.
Consolation came in the shape of $300,000, an afternoon on the beach with then-girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki, and a first Race to Dubai title five weeks later following victory at the Tour Championship.
Three years on, McIlroy contests this week's Turkish Airlines Open looking to complete an injury-affected 2015 in style with a fourth win of the season and a third money list title in four years.
