Ernie Els has shot a second round of 67 to go 9 under at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. The three-time Majlis Course champion finished Pink Friday tied with Danny Willet. The South African previously won the tournament in 1994, 2002 and 2005. Els has played 14 times in the tournament and if he claims the title on Sunday, would move to the top of the list of most European Tour tiles in the Middle East.
