Filipino golfer Jaden Dumdumaya opened his Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship debut with a 2-over-par 73, placing him tied for 29th at Te Arai Links on Thursday.
Battling winds gusting up to 54 kilometers per hour, he recorded four birdies, four bogeys, and one double bogey.
Dumdumaya recovered from being four-over through 10 holes by making three birdies on the back nine to limit his score.
Fellow Filipino golfers Shinichi Suzuki, Rolande Bregente, and Chris Remata struggled with rounds of 78, 81, and 84, respectively.
Defending champion Fifa Laopakdee of Thailand fired a 63 to take a three-shot lead over New Zealand’s Joshua Bai.
