Willett aiming to end ‘turbulent year’ on Dubai high

Danny Willett has gone through a difficult spell since landing a surprise first major victory at the U.S. Masters in April but believes he is starting to see the first green shoots of golfing recovery. The Englishman has managed just two top-10 finishes since his win at Augusta but a tie for 11th in Sunday’s Nedbank Challenge in South Africa has given him extra belief for this week’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. “It was nice to finally get a few nice rounds under-par and get some good feelings back and come to a golf course now that doesn’t necessarily suit me 100 percent as much as it does the other guys,” Willett told reporters on Tuesday.

Golf - WGC-HSBC Champions Golf TournamentAlex Noren has an outside chance of topping the Race to Dubai standings in the United Arab Emirates this weekend but the Swede is only concentrating on playing well at the European Tour's season-ending event. The 34-year-old climbed into the top 10 of the world rankings for a first time after rallying for a six-stroke victory after a final-round 63 handed him the Nedbank Golf Challenge title at the Gary Player Country Club on Sunday. Noren is third on the money list but played down the possibility of another sensational come-from-behind success after registering his fourth victory of the season.
