It gave me a chance to attack the greens, which was nice. I played very well and I\u2019m happy with the result,\u201d said the 38-year-old, who finished second at the Ballantine\u2019s Taiwan Championship on the ADT in August.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fast start, Hsu is not taking his lead for granted as he is aware of the talented ADT field gathered at the inaugural PGM Eastwood Valley Masters. \u201cThere are so many good players here so it won\u2019t be easy to win. I just need to stay patient and hope to continue my form.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Playing from the 10th tee, Bayron sank a monstrous 25 footer birdie on 15 which led to another four straight birdies. His only blemish of the day came on the second hole which he erased with a birdie on six.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was not easy. This is such a difficult golf course. I\u2019m quite lucky to have made some big putts. It was good to get off to a strong start,\u201d said Bayron, currently third on the ADT Order of Merit.<\/p>\n<p>After a poor putting spell in the last few months, the soft-spoken Filipino reverted to an old putter which he hopes will guide him to a third ADT win and also cement his position in the top-three of the Order of Merit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI changed between three putters this year because I was putting so badly. In the end, I decided to use my old putter which I\u2019ve been using for the past two years. I guess I\u2019ll have to stick with it now,\u201d he smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia\u2019s Sukree has won three titles on the local circuit this year and is aiming for a first ADT win after a shooting 69 to trail Hsu by three shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first time playing here. The course is quite long for me but the greens are soft and it gives us a bit of an advantage. I think the ADT is a good step for us to gain entry into the Asian Tour. I have yet to win (on the ADT) but I\u2019m coming closer,\u201d said Sukree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Miri, Malaysia:<\/strong>&nbsp;Hsu Mong-nan of Chinese Taipei produced a solid back nine to lead in the opening round of the PGM Eastwood Valley Masters with a flawless six-under-par 66 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Hsu birdied five holes on his homeward nine including a 12-foot birdie putt on the last for a one shot lead over Filipino Jay Bayron at the Eastwood Valley Masters, which is the 11th leg of the Asian Development Tour (ADT) season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-golf-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chinese Taipei Hsu takes charge at THE PGM Eastwood Valley Masters - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=11260\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chinese Taipei Hsu takes charge at THE PGM Eastwood Valley Masters - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Miri, Malaysia:&nbsp;Hsu Mong-nan of Chinese Taipei produced a solid back nine to lead in the opening round of the PGM Eastwood Valley Masters with a flawless six-under-par 66 on Wednesday.
