Full leaderboard<\/a><\/p>\nEugenio Chacarra extended his lead at the DP World India Championship but Rory McIlroy lost ground before the third round was halted because of darkness.<\/p>\n
Spain’s Chacarra led by one shot at 10 under after two rounds at the weather-hit event at Delhi Golf Club and sits two clear after 11 holes of his third round. <\/p>\n
After successive rounds of 67, the 26-year-old birdied four of his opening seven holes to cement his place at the top as he bids to replace American Patrick Reed at the summit of the season-long Race to Dubai rankings.<\/p>\n
Fellow Spaniard Angel Hidalgo and the Netherlands’ Joost Luisten are his closest challengers at 12 under, with Scotland’s Scott Jamieson a shot further back. <\/p>\n
Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin is four adrift with defending champion Tommy Fleetwood five back after a four-under 68. <\/p>\n
Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre is also well placed at eight under with five holes of his third round remaining. <\/p>\n
However, McIlroy – who sits third in the Race to Dubai behind Reed and Chacarra – fell 10 shots off the lead after an erratic third round. <\/p>\n
Having completed a bogey-free second-round 68 early on Saturday, the six-time major winner birdied his opening hole before dropping four shots in as many holes from the third.<\/p>\n
After a birdie on the seventh, McIlroy made back-to-back bogeys on the ninth and 10th before sensationally holing out from the bunker for an eagle three at the 14th.<\/p>\n
Reed played the first 13 holes of his third round to sit two shots ahead of McIlroy.<\/p>\n
The 2018 Masters champion, who tops the Race to Dubai rankings after early-season victories in Dubai and Qatar, mixed five birdies and a bogey before holing his 150-yard approach shot for a spectacular eagle two at the fourth, having teed off at the 10th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DP World India Championship, round three leaderboard -14 E Chacarra (Spa) (11*); -12 J Luiten (Ned) (12*), A…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":885711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-885710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/885710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=885710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/885710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/885711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=885710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=885710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=885710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
