GRAEME STORM is firmly in the hunt for his second European Tour title in as many weeks.

The Hartlepool Tour pro, who won the South Africa Open two a fortnight ago, followed up his opening round 68 at the Qatar Masters with a two-under 70 to stay in the picture.

Storm sits on six under, two shots adrift of a nine strong leading group including Kiradech Aphibranrat, Jeunghun Wang, Jaco van Zyl and Englishman Andy Sullivan.

North Yorkshireman Simon Dyson is a shot behind on seven under along with fellow countryman Jordan Smith and five others.

But Storm, playing solidly to recover from a bogey on the back and front nine, is in good shape going into the weekend too as he looks to stay in the Race to Dubai’s top ten.
