Jakarta, Oct 19 (IANS) Smriti Mehra of India and Malaysian amateur Kelly Tan positioned themselves to take the lead in their unfinished Round 2 of the Jakarta Ladies Indonesia Open at the Palm Hill Golf Club, here Friday. Both players playing in the same group were three-under total after 32 holes. Play was suspended when the skies opened up at 1.37 p.m. local time. There was no improvement in the weather conditions and that forced tournament director Huw Jones later to announce that play will resume at 7 a.m. Saturday with the final round play scheduled for not later than 8.30 a.m. The third player in the same group with Tan and Mehra, Thailand's Patcharachuta Kongkapan was at two-under after 32 holes. Mehra said she was not disturbed by having to complete her second round tomorrow morning. "Maybe I have to wake up earlier than normal 4.30am perhaps. No worries; this has happened many times in my golfing career," she said. The other Indians in the tournament Vani Kapoor, Neha Tripathi and Saanya Sharma were placed at tied 11th, 21st and 47th respectively.
