The weather-hit tournament at Delhi Golf Club saw Eugenio Chacarra from Spain extend his lead ahead of the final round.

Chacarra, who finished two rounds at 10 under par, sits one shot clear of the field after eleven holes were completed in the third session.

Rory McIlroy from Northern Ireland lost ground during his third round before play was halted due to fading light.

McIlroy dropped four shots across four holes following a birdie on the seventh hole and a bogey on the eighth.

He made back-to-back bogeys at the ninth and tenth before holing out from a bunker for an eagle three at the 14th hole.

The 2018 Masters champion sits third in the Race to Dubai standings behind Patrick Reed and Chacarra.

Reed played thirteen holes of his third round to remain two shots ahead of McIlroy.

McIlroy mixed five birdies with a bogey before spectacularly holing his 150-yard approach shot for an eagle two at the fourth hole.

He teed off at the tenth hole after completing a bogey-free 68 in his second round on Saturday morning.

Chacarra's closest rivals are fellow Spaniard Angel Hidalgo and Dutchman Joost Luiten, both sitting at 12 under par.

Scottish golfer Scott Jamieson trails by one shot while Northern Irishman Tom McKibbin is four shots adrift.

Defending champion Tommy Fleetwood sits five shots back after posting a four-under 68 in his second round.

Robert MacIntyre from Scotland remains well placed at eight under with five holes remaining in his third round.

The event continues to face challenging conditions as the competition moves forward.

Chacarra bids to replace American Patrick Reed at the summit of the season-long Race to Dubai rankings.
