Storm and Green share lead in

Abu Dhabi Championship

FROM THE A O L GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Paul Casey has returned to the scene of his last victory and is sparkling again.
Casey, winner of the Abu Dhabi Championship two years ago and one of Nick Faldo's wild card picks for last September's Ryder Cup, fired a second-round 65.
It was not the low round of the day, however, as fellow Englishman Graeme Storm, in his first event for more than two months, shot 64 just before play was called off for the day. Storm was paired with Richard Green and the Australian left-hander returned a 65 to be 11 under par 133 at halfway as well as Storm, one ahead of Casey and Londoner Anthony Wall.
Open and US PGA champion Padraig Harrington birdied the last two holes for a 66 which left him only four behind.
Colin Montgomerie, surprised by reports that he may be ready to take the Ryder Cup captaincy next year rather than 2014 if Jose Maria Olazabal chooses to wait, is not out of the hunt either after a 67 lifted him to 139.
Masters champion Trevor Immelman and world number two Sergio Garcia are two further back.
Top Scot's score of the second round was a 66 by Alastair Forsyth who is on 141 - a shot ahead of David Drysdale who scored a 70 today. Paul Lawrie had a 70 for 143.
