Rai Leads by One Shot From Hojgaard and Fleetwood Heading Into Final Round in Abu Dhabi

On Friday, Tommy Fleetwood and Aaron Rai shared a two-shot halfway lead at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at 14-under after 36 holes at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi.
After an eight-under 64 on Thursday, Tommy Fleetwood, English golfer and European Ryder Cup winner, shot a six-under 66 on Friday to keep his share of the lead and build on recent momentum.
Aaron Rai produced an albatross on the par-five second to spark his round, finishing with back-to-back birdies for an eight-under 64, tying the low round of the day.
Andy Sullivan, Nicolai Hojgaard and Richard Sterne lead the chasing pack on 12-under, while Shane Lowry is at 11-under and Rory McIlroy, Masters champion, is 8-under inside the top 20.
Fleetwood hopes to carry recent momentum into the weekend and into the Race to Dubai picture as he seeks another title after strong recent worldwide finishes.
