Sweden's Sebastian Soderberg held a three-shot advantage over Englishman Paul Waring at 16 under par after the second round, but the leader did not hit a single shot on Saturday at Hidden Grace Golf Club.
Only two groups got under way before play was initially suspended at 8.18am local time (10.18am AEST) due to the dangerous situation caused by lightning in the Shenzhen area.
