ABU DHABI (Reuters) - England’s Andy Sullivan claimed the clubhouse lead in the second round of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on Friday after early-morning fog left 60 players including four of the world’s top six unable to complete 18 holes.
First-round leader Bryson DeChambeau only made it to the turn, while the threesome of Masters champion Jordan Spieth, four-times major winner Rory McIlroy and world number six Rickie Fowler walked off after 13 difficult holes that yielded just four birdies between them.
Sullivan (67) was unperturbed, however, picking up shots on his first three and last three holes to reach the tournament’s half-way stage on 10 under.
