Min Woo Lee shoots 71 as lightning delays India Championship
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 20:32 · Archive
Min Woo Lee and Evis Smylie both shot one-under-par 71s on the opening day of the India Championship at Delhi Golf Club, leading the Australian charge on a day disrupted by thunder and lightning. Lee recorded five birdies and four bogeys, describing his round as a mixed performance that could have yielded a couple of shots better. Smylie, a LIV Golf star, was more conservative in his scoring, with two birdies offset by an opening six at the par-five first hole. Only about half the field managed to complete their rounds before the five-hour weather delay halted play.
Denmark's Niklas Norgaard holds the lead after a six-under 66, aided by an eagle at the opening hole. Spain's Eugenio Chacarra, Belgium's Thomas Detry and Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin are chasing three shots back on five-under 67, while Adrian Meronk, fresh from victory at the Links Championship at St Andrews, posted a four-under 68. Rory McIlroy, the field's biggest name, sits four shots off the pace after a two-under 70, level with reigning champion Tommy Fleetwood. McIlroy said he used the weather delay to practise his swing in his hotel room. The tournament offers a total prize fund of $A5.8 million, the richest golf event ever played in India.
