That performance, helped by two impressive rounds of 67 over the weekend at Atlanta Athletic Club, lifted him from 47^th to 25^th in The Race to Dubai, ensuring he will be in the top 60 by the time The European Tour’s elite assemble at Jumeirah Golf Estates for the season’s climax from December 8-11.

Only the top 60 players in The Race to Dubai qualify for the lucrative US$7.5 million event, and at its conclusion, those in the top 15 of the Race share an extra US$7.5 million Bonus Pool.

Young Korean Noh Seung-yul boosted his chances of being in Dubai with a tied 45^th place finish to move from 63^rd to 59^th in the Race, while Spaniard Sergio Garcia came tied 12^th to rise from 23^rd to 17^th. Dane Anders Hansen narrowed the gap on leader Luke Donald by coming third in the US PGA Championship and has still not given up on catching the Englishman, despite trailing by more than €2 million.

“I think you saw from my performance in Atlanta that I’m a player who never gives up and the same thing applies to The Race to Dubai,” said Hansen. “We all know that Luke has a healthy lead at the top but I’ve managed to reduce it a little bit this week and I will keep trying from now until the end of the season, starting at Gleneagles in a couple of weeks’ time.

“I finished 27^th in the first Dubai World Championship (2009) on my way to being 19^th in The Race to Dubai and then last year I improved on both counts, finishing 11^th in the tournament to end the year in seventh spot in The Race to Dubai. As I’m already sixth now, hopefully I can push on to give Luke a real run for his money at the end of the season.”

Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer switched places – the former rising from fifth to fourth courtesy of finishing tied eighth in Atlanta – in the only other change in the top ten in The Race.

Fans can get their tickets for the 2011 Dubai World Championship presented by DP World – held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Sports Council – by registering at the official website www.DubaiWorldChampionship.com.

Burj al-Arab, in arabo: ﺏﺮﺝ ﺍﻟﻌﺮﺏ, ossia “Torre degli Arabi”, ossia l’albergo più lussuoso del mondo, con 7 stelle (anche se la classificazione ufficiale gliene riconosce solo 5 – categoria lusso).

Situato a Dubai, sulla Jumeirah Beach, 15 km a sud del centro della città su un’isola artificiale collegata alla terraferma da un ponte di 280 m, è caratterizzato dalla forma “a vela”, dando continuità allo spirito nautico già avviato dal vicino Jumeirah Beach Hotel e dal parco acquatico Wild Wadi, sempre del Jumeirah Group (proprietario anche delle Emirates Towers e di altri lussuosi hotel a Dubai, Londra, New York).

ENGLISH

The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب‎,”Arab Tower”, also known as “Arab Sail”) is a five-star hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 m (1,053 ft), it is the fourth tallest hotel in the world. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure whose shape mimics the sail of a ship.
