Intro:

Australia's Kalem Richardson fired an eight-under-par 63 to lead by one shot over Padraig Harrington of the Republic of Ireland after the first round of the Indonesia Open on Thursday.

Script:

The first round of the Asian Tour's Indonesia Open teed off in windy conditions at the Damai Indah Golf Club, on the outskirts of Jakarta on Thursday.

Padraig Harrington started early and avoided the worst of the wind though, he set up birdie on the fifth with this iron shot - and then added another birdie on the seventh as the Irishman finished one shot off the lead at seven-under after a 64.

Asian Tour Order of Merit leader David Lipsky was hoping to clinch the money title in Jakarta, but the American will have some work to do after opening with a one-over 72.

Thailand's Thanyakon Khrongpha is four shots adrift of the lead, after a 67 which included this brilliant chip-in for birdie on the 12th.

Local favourite, George Gandranata, started his home tournament with a 69 and is six shots off the pace after the first round.

But the Indonesia Open first round leader was Kalem Richardson, who began with an eight-under-par 63.

The Australian had a birdie on the third hole, then finished his round with another on the ninth to move above Harrington - and head into Friday's round with a one-shot lead.
