\"McIlroy-Dubai-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

January 2, 2015 – <\/strong>Rory McIlroy<\/strong>, the No. 1 golfer in the world, has clinched his first win in 2015 – one step closer in his journey to The Masters. The Nike athlete\u2019s dominant victory came at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic<\/strong> on the European Tour<\/strong>, the same place he won his first tournament as a professional in 2009.<\/p>\n

Having led from day two, his 22-under- par 72-hole total tied the lowest score ever recorded in the history of the tournament, and left his pursuers three shots back. So far in 2015, McIlroy\u2019s record is nearly perfect, having finished second and first in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, respectively.<\/p>\n

With the new Nike Vapor Pro driver<\/strong> in his bag, McIlroy led the field in driving distance averaging 317.9 yards. McIlroy was influential in the development of the Vapor Pro driver, which became available in stores on January 30, 2015. It blends three key technologies: Nike\u2019s new FlyBeam reinforced Covert Cavity Back design, a re-engineered Compression Channel and FlexLoft 2. All of these are vital to the golf athlete in achieving the ultimate in hitting their window of distance, speed and launch conditions.<\/p>\n

McIlroy relied on his new wedge, a Nike Engage Dual Sole<\/strong> 59-degree, to help him get through the rough more consistently. For impressive accuracy and control, McIlroy also relied upon the Speedlock RZN Core technology found in his Nike RZN Black golf ball<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The innovative Speedlock RZN core, created with an interlocking core design, helps promote better energy transfer between the layers at impact for faster ball speed, longer distance and more stability into the wind.<\/p>\n

On the body, McIlroy sported the Nike Lunar Control 3<\/strong>, another product he helped inspire, as well as apparel from Nike Golf\u2019s Performance Collection.<\/p>\n
