Rory McIlroy has revelled in beating major US rival Patrick Reed at the Dubai Desert Classic, just days after a snubbed handshake got the golf world talking.
Four-time major winner McIlroy watched his 15-foot birdie putt roll into the cup, clenched his fist and let out a roar to celebrate a victory that felt bigger and sweeter than most, as much because of the player he defeated as it was the title he won for the third time.
