SINGAPORE (AP) — Thomas Bjorn shot a 4-under 67 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead after the second round at the rain-delayed Singapore Open.

Torrential downpours prevented half the field from even taking to the course to start the round on Friday. The third round was to begin later Saturday.

Bjorn was at 9-under 133 overall, ahead of South Africa’s George Coetzee who reeled off five straight birdies to post the low round of the day at 63 and move into a tie for second with England’s Chris Wood (65) at 7 under.

Francesco Molinari (67) was another stroke back, while three-time champion Adam Scott (66) and overnight joint leader Simon Dyson (68) shared fifth at 5 under. Rory McIlroy was at 2 under after a 70 in the second round.
