Chez Reavie charged to the clubhouse lead Friday at the weather-disrupted Canadian Open.
Reavie posted a seven-under 64 in the second round, which started late and was suspended by darkness with 63 players still on the course.
On the course, Eric Axley was two shots back with one hole to play in the second round, which was to resume Saturday morning.
Reavie notched six birdies and an eagle at the par-five 13th to move to 13-under 129.
The 26-year-old had been part of a seven-way tie for first place after the first round, which was completed earlier Friday due to torrential rain that halted play for nearly six hours on Thursday.
Reavie is seeking his first PGA Tour title. His best finish so far was a top-five at the Bob Hope Classic in January.
Axley, at 11-under, had notched four birdies without a bogey through 17 holes.
His playing partner, Nicholas Thompson, was alone at nine-under with just one hole to play.
Billy Mayfair (66) and Steve Marino (67) each managed to complete their rounds and were tied at eight-under 134.
Cliff Kresege (66), Carlos Franco (68), Ken Duke (67) and Kevin Na (66) all finished at 135.
Local favorite Mike Weir was tied for the lead after the first round but was at even-par through 16 holes in his second round and six-under overall thanks to a double-bogey at the ninth.
Weir, a 38-year-old lefthander, is making his first PGA Tour appearance in Canada since last year's President's Cup, when he defeated Tiger Woods in match play.
Weir is trying to become the first Canadian to win his home Open title since Pat Fletcher in 1954.
The former Masters champion has missed five cuts and posted only two top-10 finishes in 17 starts this season.
Two-time defending champion Jim Furyk, who finished in a tie for fifth at the British Open last week, carded a three-under 68 and was nine adrift.
