DP World Tour : KLM Open. .Leaderboard
Sweden's Joakim Lagergren held the lead after a second round interrupted by heavy winds at the 2025 KLM Open.
Gusts of over 35mph at The International in Amsterdam led to a suspension of over two hours on Friday afternoon, with Lagergren already safely in the clubhouse on -8 after a battling 68.
He shared top spot at that stage with first-round leader Ricardo Gouveia, who suffered from the difficult conditions after the resumption but clawed his way to a 72 -6 thanks to a closing birdie.
Scotland's Connor Syme was third on -5 a shot ahead of compatriot Richie Ramsay - who had one hole to play when darkness forced the players off the course - and France's Pierre Pineau.
"I was grinding a lot all day and the toughest part out there was putting for me. I had three three-putts today and it doesn’t feel very bad, just tough.
"It was just a grind, so tough. Just trying to miss it in the right spots. The greens are very quick as well and with this wind, sometimes you can’t really touch the putts.
Play was halted at 4.10pm local time due to "oscillating balls" in the high winds, though tournament director Miguel Vidaor acknowledged they were "not really oscillating, basically moving".
After the resumption at 6.30pm, and despite a hole-in-one for Australia's Jason Scrivener at the 110-yard 11th hole, scoring continued to prove difficult as Gouveia and his fellow challengers were unable to stay with Lagergren's lead.
One-over-par rounds of 72 were enough to keep Gouveia, Syme and Pineau in the top five, with Ramsay also one over for the day through 17 holes -4 for the tournament.
England's Andy Sullivan shot an impressive 70, one of only 11 completed rounds under par, to share sixth place with Oliver Lindell and Francesco Laporta on -3. Finn Lindell went round in 71, level par, while Laporta was -1 for 17 holes.
