Henrik Stenson moves ahead in Dubai

Henrik Stenson hits eight birdies during his second round to move one shot clear at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson has moved ever nearer to the Race to Dubai title with a second-round 64 at the DP World Tour Championship.

The world number three hit eight birdies during a faultless 18 holes on Friday as he looks to remain at the top of the Race to Dubai standings.

First-round leader Alejandro Canizares remained near the top of the leaderboard with a round of 67 to sit one shot adrift of Stenson, and open up a three-shot advantage over the rest of the field.

Victor Dubuisson and Marcus Fraser finished Friday on eight-under-par, while the English duo of Justin Rose and Ian Poulter ended on seven-under.

Former world number one Rory McIlroy is looking to end a poor 2013 on a high, and a round of 67 saw him move into a top-10 position.
