Rory McIlroy (T-3) wants to be first to pull off FedExCup, Race to Dubai 'double'

After winning the PGA Tour's season-long title, Rory McIlroy isn't done.

The Northern Irishman overtook world No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, at East Lake for the FedExCup crown and $18 million. Now, he finds himself across the pond at the BMW PGA Championship — the DP World Tour's flagship event — sitting T-3, one stroke off the lead at 11 under, after closing his round with consecutive birdies.

McIlroy is currently first in The Race to Dubai (formerly known as the Order of Merit) standings. And winning at Wentworth would certainly increase the world No. 3's chances of becoming the first player ever to win the FedExCup and Race to Dubai in the same year.
