(Reuters) - Thai teen Jazz Janewattananond fired a six-under-par 66 to join Korean Kim Kyungtae at the clubhouse lead at the halfway mark of the Thailand Open on Friday.
The 19-year-old Thai, looking for his maiden title since turning pro at 14, made seven birdies and a bogey to join Kim at top on nine-under.
A two-hour-and-45-minute delay due to bad weather meant 57 players will return on Saturday to complete their rounds.
"I have been playing pretty good lately so it is good to keep it going in my national Open," said Jazz.
"My ball striking has been great so that makes everything easier as this is a difficult course.
