Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya: Thailand\u2019s Pariya Junhasavasdikul rediscovered some of his best form to storm into the first round lead with a five-under-par 66 at the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masterson Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 28-year-old, who won his first Asian Tour title in 2010, snared eight birdies against one bogey and a double bogey at a sun baked Seri Selangor Golf Club to lead by one from Korea\u2019s Baek Seuk-hyun in the RM1.2 million (approximately US$400,000) tournament.<\/p>\n

Talented Malaysian amateur Gavin Green continued to show his promise with a measured 68 for joint third place alongside six-time Asian Tour winner Lin Wen-tang of Chinese Taipei and Australian duo Wade Ormsby and Adam Groom.<\/p>\n

Pariya has not hit top form in 2013 but his game clicked at Seri Selangor, which is playing hard and fast due to the dry conditions. After turning in 31, he dropped a double bogey on the par-three third hole but bounced straight back with three consecutive birdies.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything just went my way. I was hitting it really straight on my front nine and everything clicked. When I went to the back nine, I stumbled on the third hole but I recovered really good with three birdies,\u201d said Pariya, who is a licensed pilot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game is good and I\u2019m staying positive. I played in Koh Samui last week (Queen\u2019s Cup) and that course makes this golf course look like a wide open course. You got to be patient here because the course will give you birdies and you need to hold on to that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Baek, who is currently sixth on the Order of Merit, made full use of a golf tip from Thailand\u2019s Chawalit Plaphol. The Thai-based Korean, who has two-top five results this season, is aiming to win his first Asian Tour title on the region\u2019s premier Tour which is celebrating its 10th season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Queen\u2019s Cup, my weight during impact was more to the right side. I tried to change it a bit more to the left so my downswing will be more pure. Chawalit told me this last week and I\u2019ve been practising it,\u201d said Baek.<\/p>\n

After ending a four-year title drought at the Solaire Open in Manila earlier this season, Lin believes he is now back to his best form after several lukewarm seasons due to injuries. He signed off his round in style by chipping in for birdie on the 18th hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI putted well, took only 27 putts,\u201d said Lin. \u201cYou need to be mentally strong on this course as it\u2019s a difficult course. The greens are very firm and it\u2019s difficult to control the ball. That\u2019s why I think you need to chip and putt well this week which is very important.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince winning in the Philippines, my game is really coming back. I won a matchplay tournament in Taipei last month so my game is feeling really good, especially with my chipping.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old Green, who is seeking a strong showing this week to boost his chances of qualifying for the U.S. Amateur Championship, missed numerous putts as he hung around the leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was burning a lot of lips. I hit a lot of good putts but none of them dropped for me. I was rolling it good but a couple of important putts went in and that\u2019s good enough. I kept the ball in play. I didn\u2019t do any crazy shots. I was very patient out there. I was trying to go ahead in the last couple of holes but I knew I had to stay calm,\u201d said Green.<\/p>\n

Worldwide Holdings, a 100 per cent subsidiary of PKNS \u2013 the development arm of the state of Selangor \u2013 will title sponsor the Selangor Masters for the sixth successive year. The state-linked company has an impressive portfolio of businesses which include property development and investment, environmental management services and investment holding in Selangor.<\/p>\n

The weekend rounds of the tournament will be telecast live on the Asian Tour\u2019s global platform which reaches over 200 countries and 650 million homes.<\/p>\n
