SYDNEY (Reuters) - World number one Rory McIlroy has confirmed he will be back in Sydney in November to defend the Australian Open title he snatched from Adam Scott's grasp on the final hole last year.

McIlroy's duel with Scott attracted crowds not seen Down Under since the heyday of Greg Norman and his return for the 2014 tournament, which will be held at The Australian Golf Club from Nov. 27-30, is major boost to organisers.
