Rory McIlroy got lost in Abu Dhabi

Actually Rory McIlory together with the Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler are preparing for the 10th anniversary of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship that will kick off tomorrow (15-18 January 2015).

The organizers also wanted to show the natural beauties of Abu Dhabi. If you like deserts then it is really worth to go. You can even do sand skiing and boarding. :-)

3-time Abu Dhabi champion Martin Kaymer, Ernie Els, Ryder Cup stars Jamie Donaldson and Victor Dubuisson and defending champion Pablo Larrazabal are also lining up for the US $2.7 million showpiece.

Sometimes, such questions as “Can I help you, sir” can be...
