The DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour, traditionally ends the season in Dubai. Mikael Lindberg is the only Swede in the field, as Ludvig Åberg will not be playing.
The week has started well.
After two rounds, Lindberg shares fifth place after rounds of 72 and 69. He is just two shots behind leaders Tyrrell Hatton and Rory McIlroy, who are at -5.
His position could have been even better had he not finished with two bogeys in the last five holes after a dazzling start on Friday.
A lot is at stake this weekend for the 33-year-old Haninge golfer, who claimed his first tour victory in Turkey earlier this year.
Lindberg has a chance to claim one of the ten PGA Tour cards on offer in this season’s “Race to Dubai”, but he will need to climb from fifth place over the final two rounds.
The winner in Dubai will receive three million dollars, equivalent to approximately 30 million kronor.
