Golf-Noren focuses on good golf instead of Race to Dubai chances (Reuters)

SUN CITY, South Africa, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Alex Noren has an outside chance of topping the Race to Dubai standings in the United Arab Emirates this weekend but the Swede is only concentrating on playing well at the European Tour's season-ending event.

The 34-year-old climbed into the top 10 of the world rankings for a first time after rallying for a six-stroke victory after a final-round 63 handed him the Nedbank Golf Challenge title at the Gary Player Country Club on Sunday.

But in order to finish top of the money list, Noren must finish in the top two at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, which starts on Thursday, and then hope the other three contenders are not among the front runners.
