Jan 20 (Reuters) - German Martin Kaymer stayed on course for a fourth title at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship with a second consecutive round of 66 to seize the halfway lead on Friday.

The straight-hitting Kaymer again found the course and conditions to his liking to move one stroke clear on 12 under.

Spain's Rafa Cabrera Bello also carded a six-under 66 to move to 11 under for his two rounds.

Kaymer, seeking a first title since the 2014 U.S. Open, took a while to get his round moving.

On the tee at the par-five eighth he was one over for the day but a brilliant eagle after a superb approach shot was followed by birdies at the 10th and 11th.
