Graeme McDowell had a message for the cameraman tracking his round in Abu Dhabi

Graeme McDowell was left surprised the cameras were still following him during the second round of the Qatar Masters.

McDowell posted an opening-round 66 and briefly grabbed a share of the lead on Friday morning when he birdied his first two holes, only to quickly slide down the leaderboard.

The Northern Irishman bogeyed three of his next four holes and dropped further strokes at the 10th and 12th, but saw his fortunes change at the driveable par-four 14th.

After seeing his tee shot land 70 yards short of the pin McDowell hit a perfect approach to set up a much-needed birdie, before having a light-hearted message for the cameraman still tracking his round.
