Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship 2012 Day 2

Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship – Proves to be a great location

The PGA European tour has continued this week with the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, the big draw of this championship has alot to do with the prize money on offer but also the chance to play on a very well kept and unique golf course at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.

The Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf championship has continued to draw in the sports top names including Tiger Woods amongst the many other European tour regulars. One thing for sure is the fact that this tournament is highly competitive and deserves the respect it receives from the tour players.

The Championship course at the Abu Dhabi golf club is one of the finest golf clubs in the middle east, and it is often hard to believe that the course has been manufactured in the middle of a Desert. In fact it is only the plentiful selection of Palm trees than give away its exotic location, not that today’s professionals are distracted by the pristine surroundings. In fact on a personal note watching the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship 2012 this week has been a welcome distraction from the freezing conditions I am expecting to play in on my local course on Sunday.

But enough about me what really interests you is how our stars are faring on the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship leaderboard, so I’ll start with Tiger Woods. Tiger started round 2 of the Abu Dhabi HSBC golf championship 3 shots from the lead after day one but thanks to a solid performance including 3 birdies in 5 holes, Tiger ended day 2 only 2 shots off the lead. In fact if he hadn’t had such a bad drive on the 16th where he dropped a shot we would of seen Woods in second spot At the end of day 2.

Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship – The rest of the field.

Woods will be looking forward to the remaining 2 days of the 2012 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship with a clear chance of a win. This is not to discount the rest of the field which sees a total of 7 Players holding onto a tied 4 position of 5 under par amongst these players are Rory McIlroy and Robert Rock who’s form continues to improve. On 4 under Par we also see some familiar faces in Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington and Charl Schwartzel.

The real performances on the second day of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship came from the top 3 players In fact Matteo Manaserro scored a 7 under par 65 to move into tied 2nd place with Gareth Maybin. The Abu Dhabi HSBC golf Championship tournament leader after day 2 is Thorbjorn Olesen who built on his 2 under par 70 on day one to post a 5 under par 67 in today’s round, Olesen looks in good shape to build his lead on this challenging course.
