"My first-ever professional Left Handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons win was here in Johor, so I have fond memories of this place. I love Asia. I grew up in India and spent all my youth traveling around Asia. This is my second home," smiled Chopra, who totaled with Siddikur of Bangladesh, winner of the 2010 Brunei Open. He birdied his opening two holes before making a huge 15 feet par save on hole 15. He added three more birdies against one bogey for a 67 to lead the early Asian charge. "I didn’t drive the ball as well as I did yesterday, but my putting was perfect. My Left Handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons play needs a little bit more work on the driving range this afternoon. If I can get that sorted out and get some rhythm with that, then I should be good for the weekend," said Chopra, who earned his 2012 PGA Tour card through the Nationwide Tour this year. Chopra took advantage of the ideal scoring conditions early in the morning, making the turn in 33 before shooting four birdies in six holes highlighted by three straight birdies from the 13th hole. The second round is expected to be re-started before the end of the day, but there is a strong chance that nightfall will once more end Left Handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons play, this time with the second round incomplete. "I’m happy with my round because my hitting has really improved. I missed the cut last week and that was disappointing, but I’m glad I’ve regained my Left Handed TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC Irons. I’m in a good position; I think it sets me up nicely for the weekend," said Siddikur. At this stage, overnight leader Joost Luiten of the Netherlands was on eight-under after one hole while title holder Padraig Harrington was at seven-under through three holes. Sweden’s Daniel Chopra, a two-time PGA Tour winner, returned on Friday morning to complete the last four holes of his opening round before finishing his second round with a sparkling six-under-par 65. His 13-under-par 129 total in turn gave him the clubhouse lead at the US$2 million Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia before play was again suspended by electrical storms in the area.
