FORT WORTH, Texas — Bryce Molder had a one-stroke lead with three holes to play Friday in the second round at Colonial when play was suspended because of darkness.

At 9 under, Molder was a stroke ahead of Webb Simpson and two in front of Jordan Spieth, the world’s No. 2-ranked player. Simpson and Spieth completed their second rounds at the Dean & Deluca Invitational.

Simpson was 8-under 132 after a 67. Spieth shot a 66 with four birdies in five holes after turning to the front nine.

The start of the round was delayed 51/2 hours after thunderstorms overnight that lingered into the morning. When the first groups teed off early in the afternoon, the sky was clearing and became bright and sunny.
