McIlroy and Spieth's second rounds delayed by fog in Abu Dhabi

The fog finally lifted sufficiently to allow tournament officials to announce that play would start after a delay of two hours and 45 minute

The second round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship was delayed by thick fog on Friday.

Play was due to get under way at 07.20 local time time (03.20 Irish time), only for fog to reduce visibility to a few yards in places, with the players told they would be given 30 minutes notice of any resumption.
