The Qatar Masters 2026 at Doha Golf Club saw the leaderboard tighten after Round 2, with Patrick Reed (-12) maintaining his position at the top. Reed followed his opening -7 with a composed -5, showcasing his trademark consistency and putting prowess.
Close behind, Daniel Hillier (-11) continued his strong form, adding a -4 to his opening -7. Hillier’s ball-striking has kept him firmly in contention, just one shot off the pace.
Joachim S. Olesen (-10) and Oliver Lindell (-10) are tied for third, both producing back-to-back solid rounds to stay within striking distance. Kazuma Kobori (-9) also remains in the mix after a steady second round.
Local favourite Ali Saleh Al Kaabi (-3) impressed with another composed performance, keeping himself inside the top 20 and giving home fans plenty to cheer.
India’s Shubhankar Sharma (-3) matched Al Kaabi’s score, showing resilience after a steady start. Sharma’s ability to go low means he remains a potential mover heading into the weekend, and his presence continues to energise fans back home.
