Japan's Furue leads as bad weather hits Evian Championship
Ayaka Furue of Japan built a three-stroke lead at the Evian Championship on Thursday before the second round was suspended due to dangerous weather conditions.
Furue backed up a strong opening round in the fourth of five women's majors this season with another bogey-free day, sinking six birdies in total to climb to 12-under with five holes still to play.
Players were evacuated from the course in the afternoon due to storms in the area. The second round was called off for the day nearly two hours later, with 66 yet to reach the halfway stage.
Australia's Stephanie Kyriacou rebounded from a bogey at the first hole, reeling off three successive birdies -- and five in total -- to move up to nine-under after 16 holes of her second round.
Ryu Hae-ran of South Korea is level with Kyriacou after making four birdies in a row around the turn before her charge was interrupted by the inclement conditions with seven holes remaining.
Thai Patty Tavatanakit, one of the trio of overnight leaders, is another shot back at eight-under.
The second round will resume on Saturday at 7.30 am (0530 GMT), with the third round set to get under way just over three hours later.
