McIlroy makes flying start

Rory McIlroy has today grabbed a share of the lead at the Abu Dhabi Championship.

Having been among half of the 120-strong field who were unable to finish last night following an earlier hailstorm, the 19-year-old Irishman birdied the 15th and long 18th to match the opening 66s of Swedes Johan Edfors and Mikael Lundberg.
