Spaniard Del Rey has yet to miss a cut on what is his fifth start of the 2026 DP World Tour campaign, and he continued his rich vein of form in the third event of the International Swing.
Del Rey, who earlier this week celebrated the one-year anniversary of his maiden title at this level at the Ras Al-Khaimah Championship, set the initial clubhouse target thanks to five birdies on the front nine and two more on his way home.
“It was nice, a quick start. I took advantage of the morning, that it was a little bit calmer with the wind. I’m very happy with the round,” said Del Rey.
