  "account": "Eugenio Chacarra maintained his one-shot lead at the DP World India Championship, but Rory McIlroy fell behind before play was halted due to darkness. Chacarra, from Spain, is currently leading by one shot at 10 under par after two rounds at the Delhi Golf Club, while McIlroy, a six-time major winner, is now 10 shots off the pace after an erratic third round. McIlroy had begun his round with a bogey-free 68 in the second round, but then dropped four shots in three holes. He managed to birdie the seventh hole and made back-to-back bogeys on the ninth and 10th before holing out from the bunker with an eagle three on the 14th. Reed played the first 13 holes of his third round and was two shots ahead of McIlroy. Reed, who tops the Race to Dubai rankings behind Chacarra and McIlroy, made five birdies and a bogey before holing his approach shot for a spectacular eagle two on the fourth hole, having teed off at the 10th.",
