Rose leads in Hong Kong, Poulter 2 back

Justin Rose shot a 4-under 66 to take a one-shot lead at the UBS Hong Kong Open, while Ian Poulter sits just two shots off the pace after a whirlwind week of travel.

Rose has made only one bogey through 36 holes this week at Hong Kong Golf Club, and at 9 under he is one shot clear of Denmark's Lucas Bjerregaard. The Englishman finished T-6 last week at the Frys.com Open on the PGA Tour, and he has maintained that momentum this week in Asia.

"Yesterday I played such a clean round, I guess it was always going to be more of a struggle," Rose said.
