SHANGHAI – Blake Windred had a bogey-free 9-under 63 to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Asia-Pacific Amateur championship.
Windred had four birdies on the front nine and five on the back, including birdies on his final four holes, at the Sheshan International Golf Club on Thursday.
"I need more of the same over the next few rounds," Windred said. "Hitting fairways is so crucial around here. Once I got the speed of the greens, I did OK."
Junhong Park was in second place after a 65, with seven players three behind with 68s.
