The English trio of Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and 2016 winner Danny Willett are on seven under.

Spain's Jon Rahm had the chance to claim the halfway lead in the 84th Masters when the delayed second round resumed on Saturday.

Rahm was one shot off the lead and facing a short birdie putt on the 13th when play was suspended in the fading light on Friday, a legacy of the lengthy weather delay on Thursday morning.

Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Abraham Ancer and Cameron Smith shared the clubhouse lead on nine under par, with the English trio of Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and 2016 winner Danny Willett all on seven under.

Soft conditions following Thursday's rain meant Augusta National had fewer defences than usual and the players took full advantage.

Easiest hole

The second hole continued to be the easiest on the course, the downhill par five playing to an average of 4.446 after giving up one eagle and 49 birdies.

Toughest hole

The first hole displaced the 10th as the toughest, playing to an average of 4.273 after giving up just six birdies and causing 24 bogeys and three double bogeys.

On the up

The prospects of an English winner after Danny Willett, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose all ended the day two shots off the lead.

On the slide

Bryson DeChambeau's mood after the US Open champion somehow lost a ball in the rough to the left of the third fairway, much to his frustration.
