Team Hall and Nelly Korda sit at the top of the leaderboards at the end of a suspended day two of the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – London.

The second round was suspended at 13.39 local time due to thunder and lightning in the surrounding area, but play got underway again at 15.10.

However, play was suspended due to bad light on Saturday evening and of the 36 teams, there are still two left to complete their second round but it is Team Hall who sit at the top of the pile on 24-under-par.

The quartet of Georgia Hall, Kylie Henry, Lea Anne Bramwell and amateur Michael Austick sat in third place overnight on 14-under but came strong in their finishing holes.

Despite incredibly windy conditions, Team Hall fired a round of 10-under-par which included a birdie on 17 and eagle on 18 to post the score to beat.

The quartet finished their round in the early afternoon, having teed it up this morning, but despite this they sit on the brink of victory with just two teams left to finish.

Team Hull, who led overnight, came up just short after firing a round of five-under-par on day two at Centurion Club to finish on 23-under-par.

Team Garcia are in third at 21-under with Team Carta on 20-under in fourth and four teams in a tie for fifth place on 19-under-par.

In the Individual competition, world number two Korda leads the way on nine-under-par after firing a round of 69 (-4) on Saturday.
