Benjamin Hébert moved into pole position at the Swiss Challenge as the second round was suspended due to darkness at Golf Saint Apollinaire.
There was a five hour delay to round two tee times due to a flooded course on day one, however when the second round finally got under way the Frenchman birdied his opening two holes to move to six under par and one ahead of overnight leader Ben Stow in second.
The six-time Challenge Tour winner still has 14 holes left to play of his second round, and he is determined to keep concentration with 32 holes ahead of him tomorrow.
“I’m very pleased right now,” he said. “It’s very hard to manage the tournament due to the long delay because of the weather.
“It’s been a long day, but I will try to get as much rest as I can and prepare for another tough day tomorrow.
“I have to take it shot by shot and keep my focus throughout. I will try to do my best because there is an important weekend coming up.”
Frenchman Robin Sciot-Siegrist carded a three under par round of 69 to move into third place on four under, while countryman Pierre Pineau, Scotland’s Euan Walker, Dane Martin Simonsen and Norwegian Kristoffer Reitan are a shot further back in fourth.
