DUBAI: Patrick Reed fared better than Rory McIlroy after some pre-tournament friction as the Dubai Desert Classic got off to a wet start Thursday with only 11 players managing to finish their weather-affected first rounds.
Patrick Reed shrugged off his row with Rory McIlroy and a six-hour weather delay to make an impressive start to the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Players were informed in the early hours of Thursday morning that Emirates Golf Club was "inaccessible" and told not to travel to the course due to several roads being flooded following heavy rain. Following a few hours of dry weather and a massive clean-up operation by ground staff, play got under way at 1.15pm local time, although half the field were unable to get on the course at all and will start round one on Friday. Reed completed 16 holes in four under par to lie a shot off the lead held by Belgium's Thomas Pieters, who had three holes remaining.
