Yu finished at 12-under 132, while Crowe held a one-shot lead with two holes left before darkness stopped play again.
Trace Crowe holds a one-shot lead at 13-under at the Austin Championship after play was suspended by darkness on Friday. The 30-year-old, seeking his maiden PGA Tour win, remains ahead of Taiwan's Kevin Yu.
The Austin Championship serves as the penultimate event of the FedEx Cup Fall series, determining which players secure full-time PGA Tour status for 2027. The tournament's outcome directly impacts career trajectories before the tour shifts its competitive model.
Tied for third are Brian Harman and Kristoffer Ventura at 11-under. Jordan Smith, Erik van Rooyen, and Sami Valimaki sit at 10-under, with Neal Shipley at six-under and two holes remaining.
The projected cut line sits at 4-under 140, leaving many players on the bubble. Cam Davis missed the cut after shooting a four-over 76 in his second round.
Action resumes Saturday morning at Omni Barton Creek Resort to complete the second round. The PGA Tour season concludes next week at Sea Island, where top-100 finishers secure full-time status for 2027.
