Rory McIlroy holed out for eagle on the penultimate hole of his opening roundRory McIlroy enjoyed a spectacular finish to his opening round as further weather delays at the Dubai Desert Classic on Friday forced organisers to schedule a Monday finish.
World number one McIlroy fired a six-under first round of 66, returning after a solid start on Thursday to finish in stunning fashion.That included a holed-out second shot on the par-four eighth, his penultimate hole, and a near eagle on the par-four ninth."I was hopeful that I would hole that birdie putt on seventh and get to three-under and then maybe birdie one of the last two and get to four-under.
LIV Golf star Patrick Reed, who was involved in a controversial incident before the tournament when he was accused of throwing a tee at four-time major champion McIlroy, eagled his 18th hole to also finish on 66. With more than nine hours lost because of rain –- close to 60 millimetres were dumped on the golf course over the two days –- the organisers decided to schedule the third round for Sunday and the final round on Monday in an effort to make it a 72-hole tournament.
Rory is the best in the game...
