Play set to resume

Play in the adidas Australian Amateur will resume at Commonwealth at 11am after a lightning delay of almost two hours.

Play cannot resume yet at Cranbourne because there is lightning in the area but the radar is looking clearer and a resumption is expected soon at that course as well.

Afternoon tee times will be updated as soon as possible.

Play interrupted

Lightning in the area has forced a delay at both venues for the amateur championship.

The siren sounded at 9.19am at Commonwealth and then 20 minutes later at Cranbourne, a few kilometres to the south-east. Light rain is falling at both courses.

There are some storms on the forecast for Wednesday although they were expected through later in the day.

Meanwhile NSW star Blake Phillips has seized the outright lead in the men's championship at 8-under with overnight co-leader Chase Oberle still to tee off.

Hammett charging

Queenslander Sarah Hammett is making a move on day two. Playing at Cranbourne, Hammett picked up two shots early and with first-round leader Raegan Denton dropping a shot, the margin is just one.

Royal Adelaide's Denton made a double bogey seven at the par-5 10th hole to start her second day as the leader, but picked up a birdie at the 13th hole.

In the men's one of the overnight leaders Blake Phillips from Concord Golf Club has begun his second round with three pars at Cranbourne.

Billy out

The adidas Australian Amateur has lost one of its star attractions with the unfortunate withdrawal of Queenslander Billy Dowling after round one.
