SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -South Korea's Kim Wi-joong shot a 4-under 67 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead in the Korea Open, while American Ryder Cup star Anthony Kim followed his opening 64 with a 73 to drop three shots back.
``I had no control over my distance,'' said Anthony Kim, a two-time winner this year on the PGA Tour. ``I have to tighten up my driver now. It was not a good round, but I still have a chance heading into the weekend rounds.''
Kim Wi-joong had an 8-under 134 total on the Woo Jeong Hills Country Club course. England's Ian Poulter (66) and South Korea's Kim Dae-sub (68) were tied for second. Forty-five players were unable to complete the round because of darkness.
Wi-joong Kim had four birdies and an eagle in the round that was delayed by fog.
``It gave me an opportunity to warm up,'' Kim Wi-joong said. ``It felt much better than actually having to tee off in the early morning.''
Poulter had the best round of the day.
``To shoot a 5 under today is good,'' Poulter said. ``I am a little disappointed with the two bogeys. I three-putted both the holes.''
