DP World India Championship: Rory McIlroy drops 10 shots off the lead as Eugenio Chacarra moving into position for another big win
Spain's Eugenio Chacarra holds the lead at the DP World India Championship with Rory McIlroy dropping out of contention after play was suspended for the day on Saturday.
Chacarra was leading by two strokes on 14 under when Saturday's play was suspended because of fading light, with most of the field yet to finish their third round.
The Spaniard was four under for his round after 11 holes, having started out in the halfway lead after completing a second-round 67 early Saturday.
Joost Luiten was four under after 12 holes and Angel Hidalgo four under after 11 holes, with both players tied for second place on 12 under par.
Daniel Hillier, Adrian Meronk and Scott Jamieson were a further shot back.
Patrick Reed and McIlroy - battling with Chacarra for the season-long Race to Dubai title - were eight and 10 shots off the lead, respectively.
Chacarra earned one of the biggest wins of his career in India last year, triumphing at the Hero Indian Open - where he was playing on an invitation - to earn his full status on the European tour.
He had previously been on the LIV Golf circuit.
Play will restart at 6.35am local time on Sunday, with Chacarra needing to play the remaining seven holes of his third round as well as his entire final round.
