World number two tied for the lead before play is suspended

Lee Westwood holds a share of the lead at the Indonesian Masters in Jakarta, but must complete his second round on Saturday. The world number two reached nine under par with a birdie at the 16th before play was suspended owing to the threat of lightning. Playing with a conventional putter, Westwood birded the first four holes in an outward half of 32 before mixing a birdie with a bogey at 12 and 13. "Obviously I'm disappointed because I had two more holes to play. I'm still in contention and have to see how things go in the next two days," he said. Shaaban Hussin and Park Hyun-bin share the clubhouse lead following rounds of 67 and 68 respectively to lead by one from Thailand's Thitiphun Chuayprakong (68). Westwood will return to the top of the world rankings if he wins and Luke Donald fails to follow suit at The Heritage. A total of 47 players have yet to complete their second rounds, with Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee on eight under with two to play.
