JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Australia's Andrew Tampion took the Indonesian Open clubhouse lead after shooting a 5-under 66 in Friday's storm-interrupted second round.

Tampion, who became a pro in November, fired six birdies to lead by three strokes at the Damai Indah Golf and Country Club.

Korea's Suk Jong-yul carded a 68 to share second place with compatriot Nam Young-woo, who fired a 69 in the tournament co-sanctioned by the Asian and European tours.

Finland's Mikko Ilonen was in a strong position at 3-under after 15 holes before play was suspended first because of lightning and later darkness. Some 32 players were to complete the round Saturday morning.
