SHANGHAI (AP) -- Dustin Johnson's victory in the most recent World Golf Championship at Firestone this summer means he has to capture only the Dell Match Play to become the first player to sweep the four world events.
For Rory McIlroy, the HSBC Champions that starts Thursday is the last chance to make it three straight years with a WGC title.
''I know Tiger has won like 18 of these things, I'm not sure,'' McIlroy said. ''Second place is probably down around three or four.''
McIlroy has a keen sense of history, even when it comes to a series that by golf standards is still relatively new.
