Chan Kim is back on his hunt for another victory for pro-longed 20-21 season. Chan made a great round of bogey free 65. Carded in 5 under to finish just 1 shot behind leader Takumi Kanaya after 1st Round.

His 5 birdies were great but what really stood out today was his magnificent par saves. On his back nine at Par 3 4th, his ball way buried in the sand.
"That recovery shot was great. I was saved from my mistake."
He got it to 3-meter and saved par.

Then on 5th, his tee shot went way right onto the next 6th hole, but he made superb 2nd shot to come through without a scratch.
"I don't think you could easily forget the way I lost last week."
Chan made unfortunate mistake on his final hole's tee shot which ended as lost ball and cost him double bogey to lose the tournament.

"If I start out this week bad, I won't feel this way, but with what I stand now, I think I could go on to challenge for the win."

Chan is on pursuit to make his 20-21 pro-longed season's V2 following the victory at Golf Nippon Series JT Cup last December.
