TIELING, China, Sept. 12 -- New Zealand's Munchin Keh and Australian Tahnia Ravnjak set the early pace at the CLPGA Tour Tieling Longshan Golf Challenge on Wednesday as each opened with a two-over 74 score in windy and wet conditions in Liaoning province.

With play suspended at 5:46 p.m. for the slow pace with six players left out on the course, Liu Yiyi was the top Chinese at the 500,000 yuan (72,900 US dollars) China LPGA Tour tournament. The rookie pro was alone in third place at one shot back after a 75 round.

Chinese amateur Cai Danlin, compatriot Luo Ying and South Korean Lee Ye-seul were two shots off the pace in equal fourth after carding rounds of 76 at the Tieling Longshan International Golf Club.

First-round play will resume Thursday at 7:25 a.m..

Keh, the former New Zealand amateur champion, began her early morning round in light rain. She quickly found out how tough the day would be on the mountainous Tieling Longshan layout with a bogey, double-bogey start over the first two holes.

The Auckland native then settled down to post a birdie at the par-three third, one of four she would card on the day in the windy conditions, along with another bogey and a double bogey over the next 16 holes in the hunt for her first CLPGA Tour win.

"To start off, I wasn't prepared from the practice round. It wasn't as windy so I wasn't expecting how much the wind was in play today," said Keh, a second-year pro who finished runner-up at the Le Coq Sportif Beijing Ladies Classic in May.
