Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy shot an 8-under 64 to take the lead in the suspended first round of the Dubai Desert Classic in the United Arab Emirates.

The 19-year-old McIlroy had nine birdies and a bogey. Sweden's Robert Karlsson shot a 65, and Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano had a 66.

Sixty players were unable to finish after fog delayed the start 2 hours, 40 minutes. Three-time champion Ernie Els was 1 under after 12 holes, and second-ranked Sergio Garcia was 2 under after 11.
