American Xander Schauffele was in the lead on the par-71 course in the north of Tokyo on 11 under par.
Japan’s golf idol and Masters winner Hideki Matsuyama led those still to conclude their round on eight under par after 16 holes.
The round had already been interrupted for over two hours in the morning due to thunderstorms.
