SULLIVAN LEADS ABU DHABI TOURNEY
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates • Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and other big names slid off the leaderboard at the weather- affected Abu Dhabi Championship Friday, leaving American amateur Bryson DeChambeau to chase clubhouse leader Andy Sullivan in the second round. After fog delayed the start of play by nearly three hours, Sullivan shot a second- straight 5- under 67 to move clear at 10- under and make another strong impression in front of his playing partner, European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke. Spieth and McIlroy were in the marquee afternoon group, but both played erratically and were 1 over after 13 holes when play was suspended for the day because of darkness. Spieth was at 3 under and McIlroy at 5 under, with both struggling off the tee. DeChambeau, the surprise first- round leader following a 64, was a shot behind Sullivan after playing nine holes in 1 under. McIlroy made 12 pars and a bogey on No. 9 after pushing his drive toward the rocks on the edge of a lake.
