Wools-Cobb up four at Asia-Pacific Amateur

Australia's Shae Wools-Cobb took the first-round lead at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship with an 8-under 63 Thursday at Royal Wellington Golf Club in New Zealand.

The 21-year-old leads by four shots over a group which includes Japan's Sean Maruyama, son of three-time PGA Tour winner Shigeki Maruyama, and Australia's Min Woo Lee, brother of three-time LPGA winner Minjee Lee.

Wools-Cobb made four birdies and an eagle on his first nine to make the turn in 29. His 63 tied the second-lowest score in the event's history.

“I had so much fun out there and it was pretty stress-free.
