Stephen Dodd of Wales shot 6 under for the first 13 holes of his second round to stand 8 under for the tournament Friday before darkness forced 78 players to abandon their rounds at the KLM Open
Shiv Kapur of India shot a 3-under 67 to take the clubhouse lead at 7 under, and U.S. Open winner Rory McIlroy surged into contention with a 65 in his second round.
''I've been driving the ball really well, and this course there's a big premium on hitting a lot of fairways,'' Kapur said.
After taking to the course early to complete his rain-delayed 70 of the first round, McIlroy had a bogey 5 on the first hole of his second round before reeling off six birdies.
''I don't feel I drove the ball particularly well,'' McIlroy said. ''There were a couple of loose shots, and I got some lucky breaks.''
Defending champion Martin Kaymer of Germany was 6 over for the tournament with six holes to play Saturday and looked likely to miss the cut.
World No. 2 Lee Westwood was 4 under.
