Norgaard leads and McIlroy two-under as lightning hits opening day of DP World
India Championship
NEW DELHI (AP) --- Eugenio Chacarra boosted his Race to Dubai prospects with a
five-under-par effort and Rory McIlroy was three shots behind him at the DP
World India Championship on Thursday as a five-hour delay for lightning meant
the first round could not be completed.
Niklas Norgaard, who bagged an eagle at the first hole, held the clubhouse lead
on six-under, though only about half of the field had completed the round and
12 players hadn't even started.
Chacarra was among three players tied for second on five-under, along with
Thomas Detry and Tom McKibbin.
Adrian Meronk had a notable, although brief, day with four birdies in five
holes. The Polish player is one of six players tied on four-under.
Patrick Reed, who was two-over through four holes, leads the Race to Dubai
rankings with Chacarra second and McIlroy third. Four events remain including
the DP World India Championship.
Justin Rose posted a video of himself chipping balls onto the bed in his hotel
room during a long delay which sets the tournament up for a busy day Friday to
catch up on scheduled play. He later returned to complete his round on even-par.
Subash Tamang became the first player from the Himalayan nation of Nepal to
compete on the DP World Tour, making his country the 120th nation represented
in tour history. He finished his round eight-over.
