Rory's ace in Abu Dhabi...5 Canucks in Honolulu

When you think of things Rory McIloy hasn't done as a pro on a golf course, winning the Masters comes to mind, but making an ace doesn't. He's had nine but none as a pro. Today on the 15th he made his first, on the par 3, 177 yards, 9 iron straight downwind, on his way to -6 66 for -11 total, just a shot behind Thomas Pieters -5 67 -12 and two behind the King of Abu Dhabi, Martin Kaymer -5 67 -13.


Round 2 is now complete after another sparkling day in the UAE capital, there is a little wind in the forecast for the weekend, but the prospect of Kaymer and McIlroy chasing this title will be giving the bookies a problem to pick the favourite.


Kaymer has his little fade working to perfection and is full of confidence on a course he owns with 3 previous titles. Rory drove the ball much better this morning in fact his ball striking was remarkable.


His buddy and playing partner Rickie Fowler had a snowman in the desert, an 8 on the 8th as he lost his ball left, had to go back and hit 3 off the tee on his way to 75.

Webb Simpson ditched his long putter and promptly ran off eight birdies over his last 10 holes for an 8-under 62 that gave him a share of the early lead with Paul Casey, who has decided to devote himself to the PGA Tour this year to spend more time with his wife and new baby.


Camilo Villegas missed a birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole after going out in 29 on his way to a 63. Rory Sabbatini had a 64, while Jason Day and Matt Kuchar were in the group at 65


As for our 5 Canucks David Hearn T23 -3 67, Nick Taylor and Roger Sloan T70 E 70, Graham DeLaet T111 +2 72, Adam Hadwin t126 +3 73.
