DUBAI, UAE, June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jumeirah Group, the Dubai-based luxury hotel group and member of Dubai Holding, has celebrated the victory of its global brands ambassador, golfer Rory Mcllory, in the US Open at the Congressional Country Club, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. Rory McIlroy [http://www.jumeirah.com/Jumeirah-Group/About-Jumeirah-Group/Sponsorship-and-events/Rory-McIlroy ] , 22, led the tournament from start to finish, a feat which had not been achieved since Tiger Woods in 2000.

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy won the Dubai Desert Classic, squandering a five-shot lead along the way to his first European Tour tournament crown. During Sunday's final round at the fog-plagued event, the 19-year-old McIlroy shot 2-under-par 70 to finish with a 72-hole total of 19-under 269, one stroke better than South Africa native Justin Rose (67). World No.

Thomas Levet of France was the clubhouse leader Saturday when the third round of the European Tour's Dubai Desert Classic was suspended due to fading light. Before darkness halted play, Levet shot 6-under-par 66, giving him a 54-hole total of 10-under 206. Only half the field's remaining 68 players were able to finish their delayed third rounds on the fog-plagued Majlis course at the par-72 Emirates Golf Club in Dubai. In the clubhouse, Levet holds a one-stroke lead over England's Ross Fisher (67), while on the course, are 19-year-old Rory McIlroy, 15-under through 10 holes, is two strokes better than Australia's Richard Green, the 1997 champion, and South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen, both three-under. McIroy, the second-round leader, finished Saturday with a 25-foot eagle put at his last hole. I have got the tee shot on the 11th (Sunday) morning on my mind, and that's all I can do, McIlroy said.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson shot 7-under-par 65 Friday and sits at the top of the leader board at the Dubai Desert Classic after two rounds. The weather-plagued European Tour tournament has experienced fog delays both days, and some players never got a chance to tee off in Friday's second round. The opening round was completed Friday morning, and Stenson made seven birdies and no bogeys. It was a grinding day, said Stenson, a joint runner-up at last week's Qatar Masters. His 36-hole total, 11-under 133, leads Australia's Richard Green (63) by one stroke. World No.

Henrik Stenson shot a 4-under 68 Sunday to win the Dubai Desert Classic, finishing one stroke ahead of Ernie Els and two in front of defending champion Tiger Woods. Stenson, who has lived in Dubai for three years, began the day two shots behind Els.
