A steady Zhang Jin, 21 days before his 17th birthday, shot a solid 3-under 69 for a share of the lead with Wu Haochuan, four years his senior, after the first round of the Fangshan-Changyang China Amateur Golf Championship at the Beijing California Country Golf Club on Thursday.
Zhang and Wu both had five birdies and two bogeys and were three shots ahead of Dou Zecheng of China, Takahashi Hosho of Japan and Anthony Houston of Australia.
In August, Zhang, known for his steady play, shot a 59 at the Beijing Youth and Junior Golf Championships at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Pine Valley Golf Club.
