MIGUEL Angel Jimenez and Brett Rumford shared the lead at 10 under yesterday before bad weather forced the suspension of the third round at the Ballantine's Championship in South Korea.
Jimenez made an ideal start to the day with birdies at the first and second holes. The Spaniard then birdied No. 8 from 15 feet before play was abandoned.
Rumford, the overnight leader from Australia, made par on his first six holes before bogeying No. 7. He recovered with a birdie on the next hole to regain a share of the lead.
Rhys Davies is next at 8 under with seven holes remaining, while Lee Westwood is tied for 11th at 6 under through 12 holes.
In Lousiana, Bubba Watson shot a 4-under 68 in shifting wind conditions on Friday to take a one-stroke lead over Josh Teater after the second round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Watson, the Torrey Pines winner in late January, had a 10-under 134 total at TPC Louisiana.
The long-hitting Watson eagled the par-5 11th, holing a 20-footer to get to 8 under. He added a 4-foot birdie putt on 13 and a 13-footer on 14, but bogeyed the 18th when he hit his third shot over the green from a bunker. He also birdied the seventh with a 3-footer.
Teater shot a 66, dropping two strokes with a double bogey on the par-5 18th. David Duval, Rory Sabbatini, Hilton Head winner Brandt Snedeker, Justin Rose and John Daly missed the cut.
Duval opened with a 67, but doubled-bogeyed the second hole on way to a front-nine 42 and 79.
