DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Sergio Garcia took a three-shot lead halfway through the Dubai Desert Classic when the second round was completed on Saturday.
Garcia, the world No. 15, added a 5-under-par 67 to the 65 he shot on Thursday to reach 12 under. Nacho Elvira shot a 68 to move into second place with a 9-under-par 135.
Henrik Stenson, the reigning British Open champion and European No. 1, moved into contention by shooting a 68 and finishing with three consecutive birdies. That left him tied with South Africa's George Coetzee, who made a double bogey on his final hole for a 70.
