Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (My Sportsbook) - Australian Richard Green and Englishman Graeme Storm moved to the top of the leaderboard after play was called Friday at the Abu Dhabi Championship.

Green posted a seven-under 65 and Storm fired an eight-under 64 in Friday's second round to share first at 11-under 133.

Play was called due to darkness, but the main problem stemmed from Thursday's two-hour weather stoppage. Hailstorms caused a first-round suspension and the first round was finished on Friday.

The plan is to bring the remaining golfers back to finish the second round Saturday morning local time.

Paul Casey also carded a 65 on Friday and is tied for third place with Anthony Wall, who managed his second 67 in as many rounds. The pair finished at 10- under 134 at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.

First-round co-leaders Johan Edfors (69) and Rory McIlroy (69) were joined by Brett Rumford (67) in a clubhouse tie for fifth at minus-nine. Mikael Lundberg, the third first-round leader, is also at nine-under par, but has his second round to complete.

The second-round co-leaders didn't have to look far to see their place on the leaderboard. Green and Storm were paired together for the first two rounds.

"Graeme cruises around. You wouldn't ever know he was playing that well," said Green. "In the end, he got me by a shot, but it was a good little tussle."

Green flew out of the gate on Friday with three consecutive birdies to open his round. He closed his front nine almost as well as he started, but this time it was three birdies in a four-hole span.

The Australian made the turn in 30, then promptly cooled. He parred his first five holes on the second nine, then birdied the par-three 15th to move into the lead at 11-under par.

Green parred the final three holes for his share of the second-round lead.

"On the front nine, I had it on a roll and didn't think I could do anything wrong," said Green, who is playing his first event on the 2009 European Tour schedule. "I'm ready for a good result. I try and get out of the blocks early."

Storm played decently on the front nine with three birdies, but it was on the second nine where he vaulted up the leaderboard.

He eagled the par-five 10th and followed that with a birdie at 11. Storm birdied 13, bogeyed 14 and got that stroke back with a birdie at 15, but it was his birdie at the 17th, a hole he bogeyed in the first round, that put him into a tie with his playing partner.

"There's plenty of holes to play," said Storm. "I don't want to get ahead of myself. I didn't expect any of this."

Defending champion Martin Kaymer posted his second consecutive four-under 68 on Friday and is tied for ninth with Louis Oosthuizen, who shot a second-round 69. The pair is knotted at eight-under 136 and Oliver Fisher is eight-under still on the course.

Padraig Harrington, a two-time major winner in 2008, carded a six-under 66 and jumped into a tie for 12th at minus-seven.

World No. 2 Sergio Garcia only managed a one-under 71 on Friday and is tied for 40th at three-under 141.
