George Coetzee, Branden Grace and Bernd Wiesberger share the lead at the halfway stage of the Qatar Masters.
Austria's Wiesberger, who is currently ranked at 67th in the world, carded six-under on day two to join the South African duo at the top of the standings.
Things appear to be tight further back with Emiliano Grillo, Byeong-hung An and Scotland's Marc Warren closing in on the leading pack on eight-under-par, while Justin Rose, who declared himself happy following his opening-round tally, was further adrift on three-under.
Another Ryder Cup star in Henrik Stenson finds himself on the same score having carded 70 in the United Arab Emirates, with 36 holes still to be contested.
