SYDNEY (Reuters) - South Korea's An Byeong-hun eagled his penultimate hole to take a one-stroke lead after the opening round of the 104th Australian Open at a wet and windy Lakes Golf Club on Thursday.

An, aiming to become the first Asian to lift the Stonehaven Cup, snaked a putt uphill into the hole from 25 feet with his third shot at the par-five eighth which, combined with five birdies and two bogeys, gave him a five-under-par 67.
