(Reuters) - A sloppy double-bogey on the final hole cost Rory McIlroy the halfway lead at the DP World Tour Championship as former British Open champion Shane Lowry led a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard in Dubai on Friday.

McIlroy started the day two shots clear of the rest and looked set to preserve that advantage until he found the water on the 18th to card a two-under 70 that placed him one shot off the lead at the European Tour's season-ending event.
