Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed overcame their pre-tournament war of words to set the clubhouse target during the opening round of the weather-affected Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
McIlroy returned to play his final three holes in four under par to complete a brilliant opening-round 66 at Emirates Golf Club, where six hours of play was lost on Thursday before Friday's action was delayed to a flooded course.
The world No 1 birdied the seventh and produced a stunning hole-out eagle from the sand at the par-four next, before a birdie at the last put him on six under alongside Reed at the top of the leaderboard.
