The four-time Major winner barely moved his ball in the wet rough at Wentworth.

I have a good chance so I want to try to make the most of it." I last won The Race to Dubai back in 2015. Haven't quite gotten over the line, so that's something that I want to do. "No one has won the FedExCup and Race to Dubai in the same year, so that's something that I'm trying to go for," he said this week. He opted to take the shot on over the water but the result was shocking, and brought him to laughter. He currently leads the points list with just over two months left of the season.

Rory McIlroy may have become the first player to win three FedEx Cups in August, but at Wentworth on Thursday, he showed that he is still human.

McIlroy also came second at the DP World Tour's flagship event in 2018 behind Francesco Molinari. He merely let out a laugh and a smile. The ball travelled barely a yard and popped up just in front of his feet.

'Even though Westwood and Poulter have been stalwarts for the European Tour, I don't think those guys really should be here. Like I said it's the BMW PGA Championship, the biggest event in Europe and we would be talking about that and we are not. 'Some of these guys have said they wanted to play less golf. But you made a decision that is going to weaken both tours. The future of the Ryder Cup is the Højgaards (Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai), Bobby Mac (Robert MacIntyre), whoever else is coming up. Like they are the future of The Ryder Cup Team. 'I wouldn't say I've got much of a relationship with them at the minute. 'I mean, I'll be trying to win a golf tournament regardless. 'I talked with Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood, Bernd Wiesberger, guys I get along with. To be honest, if I put myself in those guys' shoes, would I be here this week? 'Obviously they are here for world ranking points somewhat but they are here to be disruptive and I don't like it. 'I don't like it that they are here.

Shane Lowry's affinity with Wentworth continued when he made a statement start to the BMW PGA Championship on Thursday.

I definitely feel the course is going to be very gettable for the rest of the week.” The FedEx Cup champion was able to see the funny side and said: “I was very surprised. “Harry (Diamond, his caddie) did say to me, ‘Are you not worried about this bank in front of you?’ and I said, ‘No, I can get over that’. “I’m staying with my girlfriend this week and she literally looked at me, moaned, told me to turn it off and then rolled over.” It’s always better that I played good rather than bad, but it was just nice to be back.”
