Tom McKibbin and Rory McIlroy enjoyed fast starts on day one of the DP World India Championship.
With play suspended shortly after 11am local time due to lightning, McKibbin shared the lead at five-under-par with McIlroy three shots back. Shane Lowry, who is also teeing it up, is back at one-over-par.
It was an impressive opening 16 holes from McKibbin prior to being called off course. The 23-year-old carded six birdies and just the one bogey, with a look at another birdie on the par-five eighth hole, his 17th, upon resumption.
McIlroy made bogey on his opening hole, the tenth, but bounced back with birdies on the 13th, 15th, 18th and second holes before dropping another shot on the third hole, his 12th of the day, to sit at two-under-par when play was suspended.
Lowry also made a slow start with bogeys on his second and third holes of the day before making the turn in two-over. He did rally with birdies on his tenth and 12th holes of the day before another bogey on the par-three seventh, his 16th, left him back at one-over with two holes still to be played.
