McIlroy loses edge in Dubai

Evergreen Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez putted his way into a share of the lead alongside Stephen Dodd midway through the second round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

The flamboyant 46-year-old carded seven birdies in a five-under-par 67 to charge to the top of the leaderboard, with joint overnight leader Dodd also improving to seven under overall following a bogey-free 69.
