Kim, who shot a 3-under 68, finished in a tie for 21st place in the middle of the pack, but more than a dozen players were unable to complete their first rounds due to sunset.

Leading the way is Bo Hosler (USA), who fired a 9-under-par 62.

A three-putt on the fourth (par-4) and back-to-back bogeys on the fifth (par-3) after failing to get his tee shot on the green were his only setbacks.
