Thomas Pieters, Richard Bland and Michael Thorbjornsen lead on 10 under par after 36 holes, with the Teegate rivals two shots back
An eagerly anticipated Dubai Desert Classic draw failed to deliver the goods. With Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed sitting eight under par after two rounds, the tantalising prospect ofplaying together on Sunday existed. Unfortunately the mechanics of such situations kicked in.
“I need to sort my game out. That’s how I think I need to go to the range. I need to sort everything out. I need to straighten up my tee shots and feel like I have a chance going into the next two days.” “A couple of holes glossed over everything else,” McIlroy added. “I did not touch a club for four weeks so I am still getting back into things. I’m managing my game well, I’m scoring well and I’m playing golf well. I’m not hitting the ball too well but I’m managing my game so that’s a consolation. I wish I didn’t have to manage it quite as much and give myself a few more opportunities.”
