Collin Morikawa sealed a sublime Dubai double on Sunday when he won the DP World Tour Championship and in turn became the first American to capture the Race to Dubai.
The world No 2, who entered the week as the frontrunner in the European Tour’s Order of Merit, began the day three back of overnight leader Rory McIlroy, but birdied five of the closing seven holes on the Earth Course to card a 6-under-par 66 and triumph by three shots.
Morikawa's winning score was 17-under, with defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick and Sweden's Alexander Bjork his nearest challengers. Morikawa, still only 24, is a two-time major champion having earlier this year won the Open.
McIlroy, meanwhile, had led for much of the day at Jumeirah Golf Estates only for successive bogeys on 15 and 16 to derail his chances. Eventually, he posted a disappointing 74 to finish five shots back in a tie for sixth. The former world No 1, who won last month on his most recent competitive outing, was seeking an unprecedented third DP World Tour Championship title.

Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate.

The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation
- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut
- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.
- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.
- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
