Chang joins An in share of first-round lead at Maekyung event

Korean Heemin Chang [main picture] snatched a share of the first-round lead in the GS Caltex Maekyung Open this morning with a birdie on his final hole for a five-under-par 66.
Poor weather yesterday here at Namseoul Country Club meant he was one of the 72 players unable to finish his round.
However, he shook that off this morning and bounced back to join his young compatriot Seonghyeon An out in front, in what is the 44th edition of the prestigious event.
Korean Wooyoung Cho, Thailand’s David Boriboonsub and Scott Vincent from Zimbabwe also completed their first rounds early today and joined Korea’s Jaewoong Eom in a tie for third after returning 67s.
An, a 15-year-old amateur, was the surprise leader yesterday – when a four-hour delay caused by lightning led to the backlog.
The second round will commence at 9.30am local time, with sunny skies replacing yesterday’s damp and grey conditions.
