Thai rising star Jazz Janewattananond hit seven birdies to join South Korea's Kim Kyung-Tae at the top of the leaderboard on nine under par after the weather-hit second round of the Thailand Open in Pattaya on Friday.

Only a bogey on 14 stopped Jazz, who turns 20 in November, from taking the outright lead from Kim, as South Korean golfers continued their strong run at the $1 million event.
