“I had it going on the front nine, I thought it was going to be another 63 or 62 even. Back nine I made a few mistakes but overall very happy.

“Fifteen... I don’t really like that hole! Seems that way anyway - I missed it in the wrong place, and then I three-putted 16, again just missed it in the wrong place.”

Play was suspended at 18:45 for fading light following a delay due to thunderstorms and will resume Saturday morning at 0630.

South Africa's Casey Jarvis was 8-under with four holes to go when play was suspended and is tied in second place at 12-under alongside France's Romain Langasque who was 6-under after the 11th.
