There was plenty to cheer about for the local fans as the country's top player Rory Hie carded a 68 to tie for sixth with Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant, winner of this event in 2005, South Koreans Han Chang-won and Han Min-kyu, Japan's Takuya Taniguchi, and Australians Kim Felton and Rohan Blizard.

"It was not too bad. I am a little upset with my last hole, the ninth. It should have been a birdie. It was only a two meters putt, but I missed it. Obviously, I don't want to disappoint the Indonesian fans so I am really focused this week," said Hie.

Malaysia's Danny Chia came in with a 71 along with Thai star Kiradech Aphibarnrat.

China's Liang Wenchong, the reigning OneAsia Order of Merit champion and runner up here last year, carded a 72.

Ireland's Ryder Cup star Paul McGinley returned a 74.
