GRAEME Storm faces a further struggle to make the cut at the Dubai Desert Classic.

The Hartlepool golfer hit a 75, three over, to start the second day down in tied 117th and that is four shots adrift of the projected line to make the weekend’s play.

York golfer Simon Dyson fared better with a 71 to place him seven shots adrift of the overnight leader, Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger.

Storm, who has struggled with a shoulder problem in his first two tournaments of the year, had a solid back nine but made four bogeys after that to eradicate the good work from a birdie at the second.
