We take a look in Rory McIlroy's bag for his victory at the DP World Tour Championship.
When you are going in search of a third consecutive Race to Dubai title, a fourth worldwide win of the season and a second Rolex Series title of the year, it is easy to think 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
And that appears to be the case for Rory McIlroy's victory at Jumeirah Golf Estates.

He made just one change to his set-up between his two victories in Dubai in January and November, switching from a TaylorMade Milled Grind 4 lob wedge to a Vokey SM10 WW early in the season.
The Northern Irishman also had a new putter in the bag, although it was the same TaylorMade Spider Tour X model with a different finish.
That is not to say McIlroy has not been willing to make changes when needed. When presented with a links challenge he swapped his five wood for a two iron at the Genesis Scottish Open, Open Championship, Amgen Irish Open and Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
But when it comes to parkland, heathland or even desert challenges, the mantra for McIlroy is clear - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
