Spain's Chacarra finished on 21 under, with American Reed and world number two McIlroy well off the pace by the final round of this event. After opening with successive scores of 67 in his first two rounds at Delhi Golf Club, bad light halted play with Chacarra still on the 11th hole of his third round on Saturday. That left the 26-year-old with extra work on Sunday and he concluded his third round with a five-shot lead after a nine-under 63. A two-under 70 in his final round was then enough to see off the challenge
