Cabrera tops Singapore leaderboard

US Open champion Angel Cabrera fired a sparkling eight-under-par 63 to lead by two strokes at the halfway stage of the weather-interrupted Barclays Singapore Open.

American Jin Park was alone in second place on six under after shooting a one-under 70 at Sentosa Golf Club, while defending champion Adam Scott was a further stroke behind after picking up four birdies on the back nine in his round of 67.

Lee Westwood (67) and Australian Gavin Flint (72) were tied for fourth on four under.

World number two Phil Mickelson (72), KJ Choi (72) and Vijay Singh (70) were handily placed on two under.

But world number four Ernie Els, who was beaten by Scott in a play-off last year, is in danger of missing the cut after shooting a 76 to drop to six over for the tournament.

With play suspended for 70 minutes in the afternoon due to lightning, 37 players will have to return on Saturday morning to complete their second rounds. The cut is projected to be five over par.

"I really hit it well off the tee and made everything that I needed to make, and that was the difference," said Cabrera.
