Rory McIlroy holds two-shot lead at Dubai Invitational, talks Keith Pelley’s departure: ‘I’m happy for him’
Rory McIlroy loves this time of year. The Northern Irishman has finished inside the top 5 in his first event of the year 13 of the last 15 years, including a win at the 2023 Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Well, he’s at it again two rounds into the Dubai Invitational where he holds a two-shot lead over Yannik Paul and Jeff Winther at 10 under. McIlroy scorched Dubai Creek Resort on Thursday, signing for a 9-under 62, but Friday was a bit of a different story.
After two birdies on Nos. 3 and 4 to start his day, McIlroy stumbled on the par-3 8th, settling for a devastating quadruple-bogey seven. After making the turn with a 2-over 37, McIlroy birdied Nos. 10, 13 and 16 coming home to get back into red figures for the day, signing for a 1-under 70.
