The Hero Desert Classic, the second tournament of the Rolex Series of the DP World Tour 2023, will end only on Monday in Dubai. After the six-hour delay due to bad weather accumulated yesterday, the organizers have decided that the event will be played over the distance of 72 holes, as scheduled, but will close one day later than originally planned.
In the United Arab Emirates, the first round ended today. Then, the second began which will be completed tomorrow by the protagonists in the race. At the head of the provisional classification, with “-8” respectively after 3 and 4 holes played in the second round, are the English Ian Poulter (now the face of the Arab Super League) and Richard Bland.
Behind them, with “-7” after seven, is Spaniard Angel Hidalgo. At the top of the chart, both with “-6”, Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed. The world number 1 and the American, who in recent days have ended up at the center of a controversy renamed as “tee-gate”, for an exchange of hands denied by the Northern Irishman which provoked an angry gesture from the American, share the 4/ in position with the South African Louis De Jager, who however has already played two holes in the second round.
