JEJU ISLAND, South Korea: Young South Korean golfer Kim Bi-Oconquered strong winds and an errant driver on Thursday to claim aone-shot lead after the first round of the SK Telecom Open. The 21-year-old, bidding for back-to-back OneAsia titles, shot sixbirdies and two bogeys at Pinx Golf Club on South Korea's holidayisland of Jeju for a four-under-par 68. A stroke behind was amateur Kim Si-Woo, also of South Korea, andAustralian Adam Crawford, while 10 players shared fourth placeanother shot further back. "The wind made it tough at the start and I wasn't driving very wellbut after about five holes it started to come together," said Kim,who won the GS Caltex Maekyung Open last week. "My putting was pretty good though. I lined a few up and they justwent in." US PGA tour stalwart K.J. Choi, arguably the best player Asia hasproduced, and a three-time winner at the Pinx event, finished theday one over par but promised a better showing on Friday. "The wind was very strong so you had to hit a lot of long irons inas second shots and it is very difficult to stop a long iron onthese greens," he said. "I wanted to be around par, so to be one over is not too bad." China's Hu Mu topped the leaderboard for a while after going sixunder through 13 holes, but his game came unstuck at the 14th andhe dropped four shots in three holes before closing two under for ashare of fourth place. After spending the off season working out in the gym, Hu said hewas getting a bit more distance with his irons. "If I can control the distance, I have the chance to do well in thetournament," he said.
