I try not to think so much about my score but I\u2019m really happy to see improvements in my game,\u201d said the 25-year-old Lee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After turning in 33, Lee continued his strong showing with birdies on holes 10, 13 and 14 but nerves began to creep in when the camera crews started following his progress, resulting in a bogey on 16.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cThe greens are really tricky here and I got nervous at the last three holes because the camera crew was following me around. I didn\u2019t experience that before and I guess I really need to work on my stress management,\u201d added the 25-year-old, who missed out on securing his full Asian Tour playing rights at the Qualifying School in January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Liu was impressed with his performance today but claimed he has no plans to turn professional at the moment as he hopes to gain more experience and build up his confidence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cI\u2019m very happy with how I played today. I made four consecutive birdies in my back nine. The double bogey on the 18th was disappointing but it\u2019s alright. \u201d said Liu, who fired eight birdies against one bogey and one double bogey.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cI think I made very good judgments today. I just got well from a cold so I try not to push myself. I kind of played safe today and my putting was good. Hopefully I can maintain my form for tomorrow,\u201d added the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Asian Tour rookie Hung is thankful for an encouraging start but said that he must not get ahead of himself if he wants to play well in the next three rounds.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cThis is a course that I\u2019ve played a lot during my amateur days. I was kind of pushing myself today. I was really eager to play well and score on this course. I will have to be less ambitious and not think too much if I want to continue to play well here,\u201d said the 21-year-old, who claimed two victories on the local tour in August.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cIt\u2019s my first year playing on the Asian Tour and I\u2019m still trying to get used to the courses and the players on Tour. I\u2019m actually quite disappointed with my performances so far, especially having missed cuts in those two events in my home country. I will continue to work hard and hopefully secure my card for next year,\u201d added Hung.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">The 14th ADT Chang Hwa Open is the second ADT event to be held in Chinese Taipei this year, following the Ballantine\u2019s Taiwan Championship which was held earlier in August.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">All ADT events receive Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points starting this year. Winners on the ADT will receive a minimum of six world ranking points while the top six players and ties will earn points based on a sliding scale.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><strong>Chinese Taipei:<\/strong> Chinese Taipei\u2019s Lee Chia-hao and amateur Liu Yu-jui led the local charge with matching five-under-par 66s to share the first round lead at the 14th ADT Chang Hwa Open on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">The leading duo held a one-shot lead over highly-rated compatriot Hung Chien-yao, who mixed his card with one eagle, six birdies, two bogeys and one double bogey for a 67 at the Chang Hwa Golf Club.<\/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":[11021,11023,11020,11022],"class_list":["post-18265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-golf-news","tag-amateur-liu-yu-jui","tag-chan-yih-shin","tag-lee-chia-hao","tag-lien-chi-wei"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Local young guns steal opening limelight at 14th ADT Chang Hwa Open - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
