Eugenio Chacarra carded an eagle, seven birdies, two bogeys, and a triple bogey to lead the International Series India after the first 18 holes. The Spaniard is playing his first tournament since being released by his LIV Golf team.

Chacarra is provisionally partnered at the top by Japan's Kazuki Higa, who was left playing the 15th hole when the round was suspended. Higa has one eagle, three birdies, and one bogey so far.

After his first round performance at the International Series India, Chacarra had this to say (via Asia Tour Official website):

“It feels good to be back I’ve been grinding on my body, on my game, and it’s been a great off season. I mean I was four over through four, I feel like I didn’t even miss a shot. I mean, the first three holes, I had three good looks for birdie, and I was even par. Then I hit a good iron that bounced, I think it hit a sprinkler head or something. It almost went by the fence, and I made a seven without any bad shots. But I still came back.”

Players who have not completed their first round will resume play first thing Friday morning before the second day's tee times.
