This week’s DP World Tour has seen severe weather conditions that have impacted the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Play was delayed on Thursday due to severe weather, while Friday’s play couldn’t begin in time due to flooding.
The second round will end Saturday. The third round will take place Sunday. Monday will see the final round.
At 8 under, Ian Poulter and Richard Bland, both LIV Golf members, are tied for first place. Bland was 3 over through the first four holes of his second round, when the horn blew, while Poulter was only 1 under through the third.
No. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy was at the course on Friday to complete his first round. He made the most of it.
He started by making a short-range birdie at the par-3 7th, his 16th hole. He then hit an approach shot on the Par-4 eighth to score an eagle. McIlroy ended his day with a 159-yard approach shot on the par-4 eighth for eagle. He then played his last three holes at 4 under.
It’s not bad.
McIlroy is at 6 under. Patrick Reed was the headliner earlier this week for throwing a tee at McIlroy. For the past few days , the two players have been arguing .
If there’s a god of golf, he will pair them for a weekend double.
Victor Perez and Lucas Herbert are 5 under, Tommy Fleetwood and Tommy Peters are 4 under, Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry are 3 under, and Ryan Fox is 3 under.
