Note : The leading 20 and ties will earn category 18 plating privileges on the DP World Tour

Connor McKinney leads by two shots after the opening round of DP World Tour Final Stage Qualifying School after making a blistering start to the week at INFINITUM.

The Australian carded nine birdies without a blemish to sign for a -9 62 on the Hills Course, to jump into a two-shot lead from American Alex Goff -7 65, South African Zander Lombard -7 64 and Swiss Cedric Gugler -7 64

McKinney, who came through First Stage and Second Stage to tee it up at Final Stage, made a fast start to the first round in Tarragona by carding three birdies in his opening four holes.

The 23-year-old added three more gains in a four-hole stretch around the turn, and then added birdies at 15, 16 and 18 coming home to set the early pace.

“I’m pretty stoked,” he said. “I think I was in a good bit of form heading into the week, and I’d say I was pretty confident in my ability, but to pull it off at Q-School is always a good thing.

“During the year I really found my feet again, so everything is going to plan so far. I’m trending in the right direction.”

McKinney will look to continue his good form when he plays the Hills Course tomorrow in round two of the six-round marathon, and with the leading 20 players and ties earning DP World Tour playing privileges at the end of the week, says recovery will be the key to success each day.

“You’ve got to keep the mental side pretty sharp which goes hand in hand with not overdoing it in practice,” he added. “It’s about conserving energy out here.

“A lot of guys can play out here, so it’s almost like survival of the fittest in a way. I’m going to recover after this and I think every day post-round it’ll be the same, just try to keep the body good for the next day.”

Sweden’s Oliver Gillberg, who won Second Stage Qualifying School at Desert Springs Resort last week, is 5th at -6, with seven players one shot further back in 6th, including Andreas Halvorsen 66 from Norway, England’s Frank Kennedy 66, German Jannik de Bruyn 67 and South African Robin Williams 67.

edit >>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill playing the Lakes course is in a large group at -3 69. Playing off the 10th he had a 3 birdie 33. After the turn he had to settle for all pars except a birdie 3 at the par 4, 4th, and a bogey 5 at the par 4, 9th for 36 and the -3 69

Fleetwood / Rai share 36 hole lead in Abu Dhabi..Full results / TEE TIMES

  DP WORLD TOUR : Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship  Weather Leaderboard

Tommy Fleetwood and fellow Englishman Aaron Rai share the lead at the halfway stage of the 2025 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship after wowing the crowds at Yas Links on day two.

First-round co-leader Fleetwood made a lightning-quick start on Friday as he opened with a hat-trick of birdies before going on to sign for a 66.

The two-time former winner and reigning FedEx Cup champion made a total of seven birdies, with his only bogey of the week so far coming on the 15th.

Joining Fleetwood on 14 under par was World Number 30 Rai, who fired a breathtaking albatross and five birdies in a flawless 64.

The highlight of Rai's round came at the par-five second, where he holed his approach shot from 218 yards with a six iron to land the rarest of birds.

The pair sit two shots clear of nearest challengers Andy Sullivan 67, Nicolai Højgaard 67 and Richard Sterne 68 all at -12, with 2019 winner Shane Lowry 69 -11 among those another stroke further back.

Fleetwood had this to say: "Really good day. I got off to the perfect start. Birdie, birdie, birdie.

"That was good, especially when you've had a good round the day before. They always say it's hard to follow up a good round with another good one, or a low one with another one.

"Starting well was really important. I just did a really good job. I hit a lot of good shots but a few times today I drove it into the rough and we read the lies really well.

"I felt like we did a great job of controlling the ball out of the rough, and that was really pleasing. I feel like I putted solid again. Six under was a very good score."

Rai also made a stunning start, with his albatross on the second catapulting him up the leaderboard.

He said: "It was really good. Struck it really well tee-to-green. Had a lot of chances. Just felt very stress-free overall. 

"Yeah, it was just a very solid, productive day."

On his albatross, Rai added: "I think we had about 185 yards to the front. The wind was a little bit down off the left and that green is so fast, and slopes front-to-back, that anything pitching a few yards onto the green always gets down to the bottom.

"I actually caught it a little bit clean off the face, the line was great. I think it probably pitched around the front edge and chased its way down there. We couldn't see it from back on the fairway, so it was a nice surprise."

edit>>> Favourite to win his 7th Race to Dubai title, Rory McIlroy came flying out of the gate with 5 birdies, a lone bogey, on his front nine 32.

However after a 350yd drive that caught the yawning greenside bunker on the short 388yd 4th 10th, he failed to get up and down, then missed a 3 footer for the bogey 5.

At the the par 5, 588yd 11th, he was just short of the green in two, but took 3 more to get down for a par5 that looked like a birdie 4 chance. 

He only managed 1 more birdie with a tee shot to 4' on the par3 13th, some wayward driving stalled his day with another 68 to sit T20 -8 with the weekend to come.

The top 50 and ties in the Race to Dubai standings after 72 holes will proceed to the Tour Championship finale next week in Dubai.

Five tied atop busy leaderboard in Abu Dhabi

  DP WORLD TOUR : Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship  Weather Leaderboard

Past champions Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry were part of a five-way tie after the first round of the 2025 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship after opening with stunning 64s.

The Ryder Cup stars, who played alongside each other at the penultimate Rolex Series event of the season on Thursday, shared the lead with New Zealand's Kazuma Kobori, South African Richard Sterne and Frenchman Adrien Saddier on -8

Reigning FedEx Cup champion Fleetwood carded eight birdies and no bogeys, while Lowry fired nine birdies and dropped a single shot.

Saddier briefly got to nine under in the afternoon after reeling off nine birdies over his first 16 holes but a bogey on the 17th saw him slip back into a share of the lead.

Sterne, who finished second behind winner Lowry at the 2019 edition of this event, made two eagles in his opening round and saved his best until last as he holed from 75 feet for a three on the par-five 18th.

Kobori, meanwhile, made an eagle and six birdies in a flawless first-round effort.

There were seven players one shot further back, with Alex Noren, Andy Sullivan, Nicolai von Dellingshausen, Nicolai Højgaard, Keita Nakajima, Michael Kim and Nacho Elvira all producing 65s.

Ludvig Åberg made a hole-in-one on the par-three eighth, landing his tee-shot a couple of feet from the pin before watching his ball roll into the cup for an ace.

Two-time former champion Fleetwood got off to a dream start at Yas Links, birdieing the first and second from close range before making two more gains on the seventh and eighth.

A 20-foot birdie on the tenth and a tap-in at the 11th saw the Englishman make back-to-back birdies for the third time in the round.

And he picked up another shot from range at the par-three 13th before birdieing the 16th to reach -8

He said: "I played well. I was very, very good off the tee and I think I made some good decisions off the tee. 

"I felt very comfortable with the shots that I chose and I hit. I putted well. I think I made a big par save on the 12th and followed that with a birdie, which was I think a crucial part of the round if it's going to be a very, very good round.

"It's Thursday. You can obviously play your way out of it. You can't win it, but eight under is a really nice way to start."

Lowry also turned in 32 after making four front-nine birdies. He then picked up five more shots on the back nine, with his only blemish coming at the 12th.

He said: "I just like the place. The condition of it is amazing, and I just see my way around here pretty well. Hopefully I can put four rounds together this week."

Sterne turned in 29 after making an eagle and five birdies on the front. His back nine was mixed but he closed the round in style, holing a monster eagle putt.

He said: "I was confusing the line to be honest. I wasn't quite sure what was happening but obviously read it correctly and got a bit lucky and just hit a perfect putt, really."

Kobori got two birdies on the front side before making an eagle and four birdies in the first seven holes of the back nine.

He said: "At the start it was very dicey, but held it together and got on a run early in the back nine. Just kept playing good golf, so it was good."
