Oklahoma State senior Bo Jin took the first-round lead at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
Jin, whose brother, Cheng, won the AAC in 2015, opened with a 7-under 65 to grab a two-shot lead over James Leow and Ratchanon (TK) Chantananuwat at Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand.
Jin said that he nearly missed the event after his plane ticket was apparently canceled. He flew from Oklahoma to Los Angeles and then caught a late flight to Doha to arrive in time for one practice round.
This is a familiar spot for Jin, who was the halfway leader last year at the AAC.
