(Reuters) - Nicolai Hojgaard carded a second-round 66 to take a two-stroke halfway lead at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai after a stunning comeback on the back nine on Friday to get to 11-under overall.

The Dane shared a three-way tie for the lead with Frenchmen Julien Guerrier and Matthieu Pavon after the first round but had a poor start with bogeys on the third and fourth holes.
