Delayed play means friendly viewer hours for Dubai Desert Classic

Irish fans will be delighted after play was delayed in the Dubai Desert Classic.

Those looking to watch would have needed to get up in the early hours of Thursday morning to catch a glimpse of the Irish in action.

But a delay in play means that the golfers will tee off at a much friendlier time for Irish viewers.

Among the Irish playing in Dubai are Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington.

Harrington will tee off at 10.05 am alongside Eddie Pepperell and Nicolai Hojgaard.

Lowry is in a star studded group with Tyrrell Hatton and Francesco Molinari at midday.

And McIlroy will now tee at at 9.45 am alongside Ryan Fox and Tommy Fleetwood.

It is the first time that McIlroy will be in action for 2023 as he looks to hang on to his world number one spot.
