Teenage Korean amateur Bae Yoon-ho shot 66 on Friday to move within two shots of first round leader Lee Min-chang at the weather-affected $1 million Charity High1 Resort Open. With Lee safely in the clubhouse after a superb 64 at High1 Country Club on Thursday, 18-year-old high school student Bae had seven birdies and a bogey to move into second on the leaderboard, a shot clear of Japan's Kunihiro Kamii. But after further delays due to rain and thick fog on Friday, 36 players must return on Saturday morning to complete their first round. More than 15 hours of play have been lost due to bad weather over the first two days. "I am very satisfied with my first round. I putted very well," said Bae, who has missed the cut on his two other appearances on the Korean Tour this season. "If I can keep hitting the fairways I am confident I will be able to get a good score in the next round. "Since I am just an amateur, I am still learning with every round I play, but I will just look to stay calm and continue to play my game." Korea's Kang Wook-soon, Japanese duo Masaya Tomida and Hiroshi Iwata and American John Huh are already in the clubhouse, four shots off the pace. Australian trio Terry Pilkadaris, Matthew Griffin and Damon Welsford, China's Yuan Hao and Korea's Cho Min-gyu, Park Eun-shin, Jung Ji-ho, Bae Sung-chul and Kim Hee-mun are all tied for ninth at three under par. "It was a very difficult day as we had problems with rain and low cloud as we did on the first day," said OneAsia Tournament Director David Parkin. Play on Saturday is set to begin at 6:30 am (2130 GMT Friday).
