DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Rory McIlroy holed an eagle putt on No. 18 to force a playoff but lost out to Matt Fitzpatrick, who won the World Tour Championship for a third time on a chaotic final day of the 2025 golf season on Sunday.
RIYADH: Saudi taekwondo athlete Abdullah Almushraf secured second place a silver medal in the under-54 kg category at the sixth Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh, after losing the final to the Jordanian team by a score of 0–2.
ABU DHABI: The Abu Dhabi World Jiu-Jitsu Festival, one of the standout events of the 17th edition of the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship, concluded on Saturday with Kazakhstan Team finishing top of the medal table, Russia’s Gymnasium Team placing second, and FAB Jiu-Jitsu Academy securing third place.
DUBAI: Baseball in Dubai started with a bang on Friday night as Karachi Monarchs third baseman, Pavin Parks, hammered the first pitch in the league’s history deep out of the ballpark with a 350ft shot that sailed over the right field “Crawford Boxes.”
LONDON: Former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker denied taking any prohibited substance and said his failed drug test from last month’s loss to Fabio Wardley was “a real surprise.” The New Zealander’s voluntary anti-doping test conducted on the day of the bout returned an adverse finding, promotions company Queensberry announced on Friday. Wardley stopped Parker in the 11th round at the O2 Arena in London on Oct. 25 in a fight to determine who would become the WBO mandatory challenger to undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk. “Before my recent fight I took a voluntary test and have now been informed that it returned an adverse result.
DUBAI: Rory McIlroy emerged from a wild afternoon at the DP World Tour Championship with three birdies over his last five holes Saturday for a 4-under 68, giving him a share of the lead with Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen of Denmark as he closes in on a fourth straight Race to Dubai title. The final hour at the Jumeirah Golf Estates featured an eight-way tie for the lead at one point. Nicolai Hojgaard started the third round with the lead and his twin brother became one of the leaders by the afternoon. When the third round ended, McIlroy and Neergaard-Peterson (68) were at 13-under 203, one shot clear of Tyrrell Hatton and five other players. Hatton is the only player with a mathematical chance of catching McIlroy in the Race to Dubai, though it would require a collapse by the Masters champion on the Earth course where McIlroy is defending champion and has three titles. “It would be an amazing way to end the season,” McIlroy said, who is coming off a tie for third in Abu Dhabi last week to strengthen his position at the top.
DUBAI: Dubai Basketball closed the EuroLeague double-week in impressive fashion, posting a 95-89 victory over Lithuanian side Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 11 and completing a flawless trio of back-to-back home wins.
JOHANNESBURG: Prolific Nigeria scorer Victor Osimhen could be the key figure when they tackle the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday in a fight for 2026 World Cup qualifying survival in Rabat. The winners of the African play-offs final advance to a six-nation intercontinental tournament in Mexico during March that involves each football region except Europe. But the losers will bow out of the contest to be among the record 48 nations that take part in the global showpiece hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Nigeria and DR Congo were among four countries given a second chance to qualify after being the best runners-up from nine African groups. In the semifinals on Thursday, Galatasaray striker Osimhen scored twice in extra time as Nigeria beat Gabon 4-1 while Chancel Mbemba snatched a late 1-0 win for DR Congo over Cameroon. Osimhen, the 2023 African Player of the Year, scored a hat-trick last month in a 4-0 triumph over Benin that enabled Nigeria to squeeze into the play-offs. The 26-year-old, who continues to wear a protective mask after suffering serious facial injuries four years ago, posed a constant threat against Gabon and could have notched six goals. On several occasions he came agonizingly close to scoring before, in the last of 12 minutes added time, he fired wide with only goalkeeper Loyce Mbaba to beat. “I was gutted after failing to score from that opportunity.
