  "account": "In the final round of the DP World India Championship, Spain's Eugenio Chacarra maintained his one-shot lead over Ireland's Rory McIlroy as play was halted due to darkness. Chacarra, who sits two shots ahead after 11 holes of his third round, currently leads with a score of 10 under par. McIlroy, who is racing for the top spot in the Race to Dubai rankings, fell 10 shots off the lead after an inconsistent third round. After starting the day with a flawless 68 in the second round, the six-time major winner dropped four strokes in the first three holes of his third round. His best shot of the round was an eagle three at the 14th hole. McIlroy's closest competitor, Chacarra, is two shots behind him on 12 under par, with Angel Hidalgo and Joost Luisten tied at 12 under as well. Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin trails by four shots, while defending champion Tommy Fleetwood is five shots back after a four-under 68. Scotland's Robert MacIntyre sits at eight under par with five holes remaining in his third round.",
