Play was suspended at the DP World Tour India Championship in Delhi because of darkness with half the field still to finish the second round.

Play was suspended at the DP World Tour India Championship in Delhi on Friday evening due to darkness, with half the field still to complete the second round. The suspension left four Australians—Min Woo Lee, Elvis Smylie, Ryan Peake and Jason Scrivener—unable to start their second rounds.

Patrick Reed, the leader in the Race to Dubai standings, shot 69 in the early wave and was on level par for the week, where the cut was projected to be. He was eight shots off the clubhouse lead held by Angel Hidalgo, Adrian Meronk and Joost Luiten, each with scores of 68 or 69. Reed's rivals in the Race to Dubai title race were positioned well before play stopped: Eugenio Chacarra was 7 under overall and Rory McIlroy was 4 under for the week.

The tournament had already been disrupted on Thursday by a five-hour delay for lightning, forcing more than half the field to complete their first round on Friday. Play was set to resume at 6.45am on Saturday. Daniel Hillier shot the best round of the day with 64 and was tied for eighth place, two shots off the lead.
