Warren relishing prospect of joust with No.1

Marc Warren will play with the world No.1 Rory McIlroy for only the second time in Dubai today, and the circumstances are certainly different.

Warren recalls being paired with McIlroy at Walton Heath in a US Open qualifier. "I think he was about four at the time," joked the Scot. That was in 2008 when the 19-year-old McIlroy was already destined for greatness. Both failed to get through to Torrey Pines, scene of Tiger Woods' last major victory.
