Garcia moves clear in Dubai

Spaniard Garcia birdied his 33rd and last hole of a long day after the second round was disrupted by high winds to move to 16 under par and in a strong position to win his 12th European tour title.

"At the end it was very, very dark, I'll tell you that," Garcia, 37, told the Tour website.

"I have a chance of winning the Dubai Desert Classic which is a great event. I'm going to give it my all tomorrow."

Swede Stenson made six birdies in a sparkling 67, a round matched by Briton Ian Poulter who moved into a tie for third place with Thai Prom Meesawat, two shots adrift of the British Open champion.
