DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Peter Hanson tied the course record with an 8-under-par 64 Thursday in taking a one-stroke lead at the European Tour's Dubai World Championship.
Half of Hanson's eight birdies on the day came in consecutive holes as he tied the record at the Jumeirah Golf Estates. Lee Westwood set the record two years ago en route to winning the first Dubai World Championship.
