They are three to lead this second round in the United Arab Emirates, at -11. The Polish Adrian Meronk had a day at -7, making no mistakes with 7 birdies including 4 in a row from hole 11 to hole 14: “Lots of solid shots, great putts. It was pretty quiet in the morning so you could be quite aggressive which I did” did he declare.
Like his Polish co-leader, the Scottish David Law, also made a mistake-free journey by returning a card of 64 (-8). He made a total of one eagle and 6 birdies: “I just remained patient. I played the first 12 holes well. The last six holes my putting was really good, which made a big difference. »
The third leader is the Dane Rasmus Højgaard, the twin brother of the defending champion, Nicolai Højgaard, 15th at -7. Author of 6 birdies and a bogey, he returned a card of 67 (-5) allowing him to position himself tied with his two co-leaders. The Dane could write history if he manages to win the tournament. It would be the first time that two brothers have won the same tournament: “there is still a lot of golf to play but it would be cool to make history” said Rasmus Højgaard.
Behind them are the Japanese Ryo Hisatsune, the Dutch Wil Besseling and the English Daniel Gavins and Dale Whitnell in 4th position at -10. The latter returned the best card of the day at 63 (-9).
