Rory McIlroy struggles in India Championship, falls behind leaders

Rory McIlroy's performance at the DP World India Championship deteriorated during the third round, featuring four bogeys and a double bogey across eight holes. As play continued, McIlroy found himself 10 shots behind leader Eugenio Chacarra, who had a commanding lead of 14 under. The day's play was disrupted by bad light, with seven holes remaining in round three. McIlroy, chasing the Harry Vardon Trophy for the eighth time, birdied the penultimate hole and then opened his third round with another birdie but quickly faltered. Currently, he is in a share of 40th place, while Chacarra leads a trio of players, including Angel Hidalgo and Joost Luiten, at the top of the leaderboard.
