Belgium’s Thomas Detry leads the Omega Dubai Desert Classic at the halfway stage after a flawless first 36 holes at Emirates Golf Club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 28-year-old matched his opening round of 67, five under par, and remains bogey free after the first two days of play as he goes in search of a maiden European Tour title.

\u201cFirst thing that comes to my mind is bogey-free, on this course, that’s a pretty good achievement. Let’s keep it that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve been playing some really good golf, keeping it on the fairway and hitting every single green and getting up-and-down a couple good times. So I’m very pleased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe course, it can bite you at any time. There’s some thick rough around the green and hazards on tee shots, as well. Yeah, the key is knowing when to hitting a conservative shot and hitting aggressive shots.\u201d
