Rory McIlroy has maintained his lead at the top of the leaderboard after day two of the Dubai Desert Classic.
The world number six recorded a round of 63 on Thursday, and although he never came near to repeating that feat during the second day's play, a score of 70 was enough to keep him ahead of the chasing pack.
American Brooks Koepka has moved into second position after a seven-under-par round of 65, while Danny Willett, Damien McGrane and Julien Quesne share third place.
Henrik Stenson has moved up 29 places into a share of sixth, but Tiger Woods remains well down the field in 44th position after firing a round of one-over-par on Friday.
