Kim Si-woo started the tournament tied for 21st with Adam Scott, Jason Day (Australia), and Shane Lowry (Ireland).
Kim Si-woo, who has four PGA Tour wins, has played in 11 tournaments this season and passed seven cuts, and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am's 12th place in February is the best.

Lim Sung-jae, who performed well last week by ranking fifth in the Masters Tournament, the first major tournament of the season, wrote down five birdies and three bogeys to tie for 31st with Ludwig Overy of Sweden and Xander Shopley of the U.S. with a 2-under 69.

Justin Thomas of the U.S., ranked eighth in the world, took the lead with a 10-under 61.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler of the U.S., the defending champion, tied for second place with Russell Henry of the U.S. with a 7-under 64.
