  "summary": "At the DP World India Championship, Rory McIlroy dismissed suggestions from Kevin Kisner that he had made the trip solely for money, responding with the question, \"How would he know?\" according to Golf.com.\n\nDuring the third round, McIlroy fell out of contention following a stretch of four bogeys and a double bogey. Yahoo Sports reports that Eugenio Chacarra led the tournament at 14 under par when bad light ended play, holding a 10-shot lead over McIlroy. Chacarra is currently two strokes ahead of Angel Hidalgo and Joost Luiten, with seven holes remaining in his round.\n\nIn the season-long rankings, Patrick Reed leads, followed by McIlroy in third and Chacarra as the nearest challenger. Following weather delays earlier in the week, the second round was completed on Saturday morning.",
