DUBAI: Thomas Pieters, seeking to make amends for a disappointing week in Abu Dhabi, was the leader at 5-under through 15 holes in the weather-hit Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
A little over six hours of play was lost due to heavy overnight rain and a thunderstorm in the wee hours of Thursday. That left the course unplayable before the staff made it golf worthy to see a start at 1.15 pm.
