World number three Rory McIlroy turned around his disappointing outing in the space of two holes and finished the weather-interrupted second round just two shots behind leader Andy Sullivan in the $2.7 million Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Saturday.
Early-morning fog on Friday at Abu Dhabi Golf Club had forced suspension of play that caused the second round to be completed on Saturday.

McIlroy came back to complete his remaining five holes, and made a birdie on the par-four 17th and then smashed a laser-guided five-wood second shot that almost holed out for an albatross.
The Northern Irishman then tapped in for an eagle to finish on two-under par 70.
