Siddikur's surge halted

Siddikur Rahman's surge in the Ho Tram Open was halted midway through the second round as play was called off early due to fading light.

The two-time Asian Tour winner, who had started the second round in joint 33rd position, had moved up to 11th after exchanging four birdies for a bogey in the first nine holes in gusty conditions on Friday afternoon. That took him to four-under for the event, but he could not start the back nine as play was suspended at 5.35pm local time.

Siddikur was six strokes off the pace, with Chinese Taipei's Lin-wen Tang taking the clubhouse lead at 10-under-par (132).
