Hit for six

Matching Seve's total leaves Rory emotional

- NEIL MCLEMAN

RORY MCILROY broke down in tears after ending his emotional year on a high by equalling Seve Ballesteros' tally of six Race to Dubai titles.

The Ulsterman announced he planned to divorce in May and then suffered more heartache by losing the US Open in June to extend his winless streak in Majors to more than 10 years.

And the outspoken world No.3, who had another near miss at the Irish Open, continues to be involved in talks over the future of golf.
