Fisher finishes 4th in the Race to Dubai
Ross, who had an outside chance of topping the Race to Dubai rankings, finished 42nd at the Dubai World Championship, and in doing so failed to improve on his 4th place ranking position.  Fisher did manage to hold onto that 4th spot though, and in doing so had his highest ranked finish on the European Tour.

"I am relieved it's over," said Fisher.  "Overall, pleased with the year. Disappointed finishing this week, I just never really got comfortable on the golf course. Just found it tricky and I struggled to get to grips with it.

"But you look at the scoring and there's obviously a way to play it. If we come back next year, I have to try to figure out a way to play this course, because I haven't the last four days.

Still, Fisher reflected on a superb season:

"When I sat down and put my goals down for this year, I wanted to improve, finish higher up on The Race to Dubai, win again, and obviously progress in the World Rankings.

And to do all four of those, it's obviously been a successful year. I would say it's probably surpassed my expectations.

"Now, obviously the majors this year have been tremendous. To finish the PGA and see that little stat that came up saying I was the best player in it all four majors over 16 rounds, I'm going to remember that for a long time."

"And I was a bit frustrated throughout the year. I could have won a couple of majors easily if I would have putted half-decent. I had really good chances. But it was great to win the Volvo World Match Play in my first go. So overall it's been a pretty good year."

Ross concluded:  "Still, my season is not over.  I have got to go to China and try win the World Cup with Poults (Ian Poulter) this week. He's playing very, very well and obviously he wins the same week as I won, so we are both playing pretty good.

"Hopefully I can cope a little better next week on the greens than I did this week.

"I'm looking forward to that and off to Sun City which I've never been to before. I've heard great things about it and then finishing up again with Poults in the Shark Shootout. So I have a lot of golf with Mr. Poulter. I'm sure we'll be very well acquainted after the next three weeks."
