EVIAN, France — Ayaka Furue of Japan built a three-stroke lead at the Evian Championship on Friday before the second round was suspended due to dangerous weather conditions.

Furue backed up a strong opening round in the fourth of five women's majors this season with another bogey-free day, sinking six birdies in total to climb to 12-under with five holes still to play.
