Quick Summary

Eugenio Chacarra led the Race to Dubai rankings at the DP World India Championship after a five-under-par round, followed closely by Rory McIlroy three shots behind. Niklas Nørgaard took an early clubhouse lead with six-under par thanks to an eagle on the first hole, though many players' rounds were cut short due to a lightning delay that lasted for five hours. The tournament is racing against time as only half of the field managed to complete their first round by day’s end, setting up a busy Friday to catch up on play.
