Chopra on the charge as rain delays finish

After Friday’s play was shortened due to thunderstorms, Chopra returned to Horizon Hills and Country Club yesterday to complete the final four holes of his first round, carding a seven-under 64 that featured an eagle, seven birdies — including six on the front nine — and a double bogey five on the 12th to trail overnight leader Joost Luiten by one stroke.

The 37-year-old Swede showed no signs of fatigue, though, following it up with another impressive effort as seven birdies and one bogey saw him establish a four-shot cushion over the rest of the field.
