Antoine Rozner tops a star-studded leaderboard at the DP World Tour Championship, with Rory McIlroy a shot back after being unable to build on his fast start in Dubai.
Antoine Rozner tops a star-studded leaderboard at the halfway stage of the DP World Tour Championship, with Rory McIlroy a shot back after being unable to build on his fast start. McIlroy surged ahead with four birdies in his first seven holes on Friday at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, only to bogey two of his next three holes and lose his lead after Rozner carded a round-of-the-day 65 to set the clubhouse target on nine under.
Hatton initially struggled to match playing partner McIlroy, three-putting for bogey at the fourth before rolling in a 45-footer at the sixth for the first of two birdies in three holes, with further gains at the 10th and 15th taking him within one of Rozner.
