Matthew Fitzpatrick ended a weather-interrupted Friday at the top of the leaderboard for the 2016 Nordea Masters in Stockholm, after shooting a low round of 65 to finish seven under par on the day and 11 under overall. 

Fitzpatrick was still one shot ahead of Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts when play was suspended roughly one hour ahead of schedule because of the threat of lightning. The tournament's official site confirmed the stoppage.

But play restarted, which allowed Englishmen Ross Fisher and Andrew Johnston to move up the board and form a logjam in second place.

Here's what the leaderboard looks like after Round 2:

Recap Fitzpatrick started well, hitting a pair of birdies over the first four holes. He hit a birdie again on the par-three seventh, beginning the hole with an exceptional drive to the green.

The European Tour relayed a highlight of the deft shot:



Another two birdies, first at the 10th and then the 12th, started things the right way on the final nine.

Finally, a birdie on the par-four 18th wrapped up a bogey-free round for the Englishman to give him top billing on the leaderboard.

Not being able to produce the same error-free golf kept Colsaerts second, although he made an even better start than Fitzpatrick, as the Belgian hit an eagle to begin his round in style.

Yet a bogey at the eighth put a stain on his scorecard. Reaching par over the final three holes was steady stuff, but not the lift Colsaerts needed to overhaul Fitzpatrick.



Fisher applied the most pressure to Colsaerts, finishing four under on the day after a round of 68. An eagle on the ninth was Fisher's highlight, but a bogey on the 12th and par over the final three holes meant he finished level overall with Colsaerts at eight under.
