belly putter on Thursday, was at nine under when play was suspended with 47 players still to complete their rounds.
The Englishman scorched the Royale Jakarta Golf Club with seven birdies, including the opening four holes, dropping shots at with bogeys on the fifth and 13th.
"Obviously, I'm disappointed because I had two more holes to play. I'm still in contention and have to see how things go in the next two days," Westwood, who will turn 38 on Sunday, said.
It could be a memorable day for Westwood, who will top the rankings if he lifts the title and compatriot Luke Donald fails to win the Heritage tournament in South Carolina.
Malaysia's Shaaban Hussin and Korean Park Hyun-bin took the clubhouse lead with rounds of 67 and 68 for nine-under-par totals of 135 at the $750,000 Asian Tour event.
