Andy Sullivan continued to reap the rewards of a change in attitude after threatening to record the second 59 in European Tour history in the Golf in Dubai Championship.

Starting on the back nine of the Fire Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates, Sullivan raced to the turn in just 30 shots and picked up further birdies on the first, second, fourth, fifth and seventh.
