Lucas Herbert shot a 67 on Friday to take a two shot lead, heading into the weekend at 13-under at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.

He fired four birdies and a double bogey at the third after finding the water to make the turn in 34 then made four more birdies and a bogey to return.

“It was a little frustrating but I also felt like I did pretty well to scrap 67 out of that. I holed some really nice putts and then missed some where I probably thought that was a good chance to make.”

“The double on three didn’t help as well so for a round that hopefully is not one of the better ones of the week, I felt like I did really well to get a lot out of it and put myself into a very good position going into the weekend.

“I think it’s definitely something that comes with a win where you know you’ve proved to yourself that you can win, you can hit shots under pressure and actually win. So I’ll be taking a lot of experience from that into the weekend and try and draw on that confidence as well.”

Andy Sullivan and Grant Forrest are tied for second after rounds of 66 and 67 respectively, followed by Dale Whitnell (67) at 10-under.

Sullivan got off to a great start with birdies on his first two holes and an eagle at the par-5 5th but lost some ground when he bogeyed the par-4 7th. He made four birdies on the back nine as well as a bogey at the par-3 14th when his ball found bushes off the tee.

Forrest also eagled the 5th and fired five birdies and two bogeys for his share of second place.

Rory McIlroy produced a bogey-free 67 to lie T34 at 5-under alongside Tommy Fleetwood (72) and Shane Lowry (69).
