Tyrrell Hatton opened up a commanding lead in the weather-affected Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship as Rory McIlroy failed to build on his brilliant start.

McIlroy carded a career-best 64 in the opening round and birdied two of his first three holes on Friday, but played his next 11 in three over par before play was suspended due to darkness, a legacy of Thursday’s lengthy fog delay.
