Brandon Robinson-Thompson carded an eagle and two birdies with no bogeys to move into a share of the lead at 4-under in the Qatar Masters. Robinson Thompson is seeking his first victory in 16 starts on the DP World Tour.

After his performance, the leader had this to say (via the official tour website)

"A great morning. It was tough, actually. The wind was ripping early. I thought the pins were quite tricky, so it was a lot of discipline. I hit a lot of shots to 30-40 feet and took my two putts and tried to take advantage of holes I could give myself chances on."

The top-ranked golfer in the field, Laurie Canter, carded five birdies and five bogeys (even par) to tie for 18th place.

During the round, Jean Bekirian became the first player from Armenian to make the cut on the DP World Tour. Bekirian carded rounds of 68 and 74 at the Qatar Masters to miss the cut by one stroke.
