South African Charl Schwartzel continues to set the pace in The Race to Dubai following his two victories in his homeland. Schwartzel has earned €525,013 so far this season, with Germany’s Martin Kaymer, winner of the Abu Dhabi Championship, moving up a place to second with €344,970 following his share of fourth place in the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Robert Karlsson, the 2008 European Number One, is third following his victory in the Commercialbank Qatar Masters presented by Dolphin Energy. Miguel Angel Jiménez is the biggest mover of the week, jumping 169 places to fourth following his play-off victory over Lee Westwood in Dubai. Westwood, the reigning European Number One, completes the top five. Go

Kevin Spurgeon’s maiden European Senior Tour victory at The Mauritius Commercial Bank Open propelled him to the top of the 2010 Order of Merit. The Englishman collected €34,500 for his one-shot triumph at Constance Belle Mare Plage, where Gordon J Brand’s second place finish earned him €23,000. Paraguayan Angel Franco and Scotland’s Sam Torrance currently share third place on the Order of Merit after both men picked up cheques for €14,375. Go

Edoardo Molinari finished Number One on the Challenge Tour Rankings, smashing the previous record for earnings in one season and climbing into the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking in the process. His season earnings of €242,979 could conceivably stand as a Challenge Tour record for the next ten or even 20 years, such was his domination. Perhaps more impressively still, having started 2009 down in 653rd place he finished the year 49th in the World Rankings – and therefore in line for a first professional appearance at The Masters – thanks chiefly to his victories at the Piemonte Open, the Kazakhstan Open and the Italian Federation Cup on the Challenge Tour. He was ultimately unable to preserve his unbeaten record on home soil and add the season-ending Apulia San Domenico Grand Final to an already bulging trophy cabinet, eventually finishing seventh to record his 12th top ten finish of the season with Peter Whiteford taking the title to secure his place among the 20 graduates for The 2010 European Tour. On top of his achievements on the Challenge Tour, Molinari also added the Dunlop Phoenix on the Japan Golf Tour and the Omega Mission Hills World Cup in partnership with brother Francesco to cap a truly stunning season.
