Rory McIlroy trails by one at halfway stage of DP World Tour Championship
France’s Antoine Rozner claimed the halfway lead in the DP World Tour Championship after Rory McIlroy failed to build on a flying start in Dubai.
McIlroy shared the overnight lead after an opening 67 and birdied four of the first seven holes on Friday, but played the remaining 11 in one over par to finish eight under alongside playing partner Tyrrell Hatton.
Rozner’s superb, bogey-free 65 gave him a one-shot lead on nine under as he bids to win a fourth DP World Tour title.
