Australia's Jason Scrivener has slipped one place into fourth after being unable to hit a single shot on a second weather-affected day at the Andalucia Masters in Spain.

After four hours were lost to stormy conditions on Thursday, two further delays on Friday meant half the field, including Scrivener, British leader Ashley Chesters and defending champion Sergio Garcia, had yet to begin their second rounds.

Play was due to resume at 9:10am local time (6pm AEDT) on Saturday but with more bad weather forecast, the tournament could be extended until Monday or reduced to 54 holes.

The West Australian remains just two shots off the lead after his three-under-par 68 in the opening round on Thursday.

The European Tour will be keen to complete as many rounds as possible as the STG1.7million ($A3.1 million) event is the last chance for players to reach the top 116 on the Race to Dubai and secure full playing privileges for next season.

Scotland's Marc Warren, who began the week 144th on the money list, is a shot off the lead after playing the first nine holes of his second round in two-under-par, with France's Gregory Bourdy alongside Warren on four under after an opening 67.

Home favourite Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano is part of a five-strong group on three-under after seven holes of his second round, but the 38-year-old will return to an eagle putt on the par-five 17th when play resumes.

Fellow Spaniard Alvaro Quiros and Welshman Oliver Farr were also on three under in the early stages of their second rounds, alongside Garcia and Scrivener, who were due to start their second rounds on Saturday.
