00:00 Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from

00:07 Emirates Golf Club in Dubai. We're at a media challenge tonight under the floodlights on

00:16 a wee par 3 course being hosted by DP World and it's a fantastic facility. The main event

00:25 in Dubai this week of course is the DP World Tour Championship and at the halfway stage

00:32 Nikolaj Hozard, a member of Europe's winning Ryder Cup team in Rome at the end of October,

00:39 leads by two shots on 11 under par. However, there are some big names chasing the Dane

00:47 including two of his team mates from Rome, Tommy Fleetwood who's now based in Dubai and

00:54 Victor Hovland, the FedEx Cup winner this year. John Rahm, the defending champion, he's

01:01 also still in the hunt after a 66 today, that moved him to 6 under with Bob McIntyre a shot

01:08 ahead. Bob's had a good record on the Emirates, the Jumeirah Golf Estates earth course. He

01:17 played really well today and he's chasing of course the PGA Tour card, 10 of those to

01:25 be handed out on Sunday. Bob's in 6th spot at the moment with two rounds to go but if

01:31 he can get up to first place on that list it would be a bonus because that person gets

01:37 a spot in the Players Championship at Sawgrass next season. Connor Syne played with John

01:42 Rahm today, he enjoyed that experience. Euan Ferguson, he's hoping to get an equally exciting

01:49 draw over the weekend. He played really well today and he's looking forward to a strong

01:56 weekend. To keep up to date with everything about the AP World Tour Championship, check
