A two-under par round of 70, sees Rory McIlroy end day two sitting two shots off the lead. McIlroy is happy to still be involved after a scrappy second round.
“I ground out a score, which was the main thing,” he said. “I’m still pretty close to the lead, there’s still 36 holes to go, so I’m still in a good position”
The world number one is among a group of three on eight under par, with defending champion Henrik Stenson leading the way in Dubai on 10 under.
Graeme McDowell is 2 under after going around in 70 today, while Michael Hoey props up the leaderboard on 7 over after a disappointing 78.
