Tom McKibbin shot a five-under-par opening round to sit one shot off the lead after a severely weather-disrupted first day at the DP World India Championship in New Delhi. Denmark's Niklas Norgaard leads the tournament at six under par after carding a 66 at the Delhi Golf Club. Play was suspended for five hours following lightning strikes shortly after 06:30 BST, leaving a significant portion of the field unable to complete their opening 18 holes. Rory McIlroy finished his weather-interrupted round at two under par, sharing that position with English golfer Tommy Fleetwood. India's Om Prakash Chouhan finished day one at three under par alongside several other competitors.
