Robert MacIntyre says he has enjoyed an “incredible” year but is hoping to achieve one more dream at the DP World Tour Championship.
Since being part of Team Europe's Ryder Cup win last October, Scotland's MacIntyre has gone on to win his first PGA TOUR title at the Canadian Open before thrilling the home supporters with victory at the Genesis Scottish Open.
The left-hander is now keen to add a second Rolex Series title at Jumeirah Golf Estates this week.
“It's been a great year,” he said. “There's been some lows but probably some better highs.
“I probably couldn't have scripted what's happened to be honest, from obviously the Ryder Cup, and the Ryder Cup till now has been an absolute roller-coaster.
“I've dreamed of having a season like this but is the reality going to happen? You never really think it will happen. But it's been probably the fairytale situations in pretty much a year.
“It is just incredible to think that I've achieved a lot of my dreams in one season, in one swoop, and it's been brilliant. But there's still hopefully more to come.
“I feel great. Game is in good shape. A couple of tweaks here and there. Last week was obviously good (finishing tied 19th in Abu Dhabi).
“I was in a position, I felt, going into the weekend with a chance. Going into Sunday had somewhat of a chance. Obviously Paul (Waring) had an unbelievable week and great finish, so it really took it out of any hands.”
By finishing 13th in last season's Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex, MacIntyre earned one of ten PGA TOUR cards on offer.

That led to the opportunity for his win in Canada, and MacIntyre says the players in contention to earn a PGA TOUR card this week could be set for a career-changing couple of days.
“I said it from when these cards came about, what an opportunity it is to get as high up the world of golf as you can,” he added. “I think the majority of golfers out here have got that dream, as well.
“Luckily I got one of them cards, and then I've worked hard and I've got the breaks that I've got, and I've got to where I am now.
“There's plenty of guys that can get there, as well. Rasmus (Højgaard) has had a hell of a year and I'm hoping Jordan Smith gets over the line. There's so many good guys, and not just good golfers, but they are good people.”
