KUALA LUMPUR — Australia's Andrew Dodt shot a four-under-par 68 to hold a slim lead at the weather disrupted Malaysia Open Friday, keeping China's Liu Yanwei at bay with a single shot advantage.American duo Jarin Todd and Trevor Simsby are in close contention as they trail Dodt two shots adrift in tied-third, while South Korea's Charlie Wi is four shots behind Dodt, the overnight leader, in fifth.Lighting threats forced play to a halt at 4.15 p.m. local time, which means 77 golfers will return early Saturday morning to complete their second round.Three-time Asian Tour winner Dodt, who fired a 63 in the opening round, hung on to his lead courtesy of a blemish-free scorecard that included four birdies for a two-day total of 13-under-par 131."It's hard to back up a 63...
