The 2024 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship is almost halfway. The winner of the DP World Tour event will be declared on Sunday. Paul Waring from England will enter the moving day on the solo lead. The 39-year-old carded an impressive eagle on the par-4 sixth hole and went completely bogey-free through the second round. He is currently at 19 under after the first two rounds.
Following him are Johannes Veerman, Niklas Horgaard, Tommy Fleetwood, and Thorbjorn Olesen, who are five strokes behind him. Waring has only been able to grab one win at the 2018 Nordea Masters on the European Tour despite playing since 2008. If he continues the momentum, he might finally be able to grab his second win after six years.
