Leading the field at the suspension were Lauren Walsh and Kornkamol Sukaree, both at four under par after completing 12 holes starting from the back nine.
Order of Merit leader Shannon Tan, fresh from her victory at the Hero Women’s Indian Open, and defending champion Chiara Tamburlini had yet to start their rounds when play was suspended.
Canadian teen star Anna Huang, who returned after missing the Hero Women’s Indian Open following consecutive wins in Spain and France, was at T-28 with a score of one over par after playing 11 holes with just one bogey affecting her score.
