HONG KONG -- Jin Cheng of China, who shot an 8-under 62, maintained his 2-stroke lead at the Asia-Pacific Amateur after 27 golfers completed their first rounds on Friday morning.

The 17-year-old Jin was among the early starters Thursday after a 90-minute thunderstorm delay at the Clearwater Bay course.

Jin leads Gregory Foo of Singapore, who finished with a 64 Thursday, and Nick Voke of New Zealand, who completed one hole Friday to also finish at 6 under.
