For Rory McIlroy to be denied another season-long Race to Dubai title, Marco Penge is going to have to pull off the biggest win yet of his breakthrough year on the European tour.

There’s a problem, though. Penge was consigned to his bed early this week because of sickness and has barely had a chance to see the Earth Course.

Instead, Penge revealed Wednesday he has resorted to watching McIlroy on YouTube to gain an insight into what he’ll have to produce at the World Tour Championship this week.

“I was actually lying in bed yesterday watching Rory play all four rounds from last year on YouTube,” Penge said. “So I felt like I had a pretty good idea before I got here today.

“I was seeing what holes he hits driver off, etc. And I’ll get a good idea tomorrow when I watch him play as well.”
