Honolulu's Tadd Fujikawa shot 6-over-par 77 in the first round of the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, Crans Montana, Switzerland.
The first round, which was delayed by cold and windy weather yesterday, was completed today.
Oliver Wilson held a one-stroke lead after shooting 6-under 65.
Fujikawa, who is tied for 118th in the 153-player field, began with a birdie on the par-5 No. 1, bogeyed the par-4 No. 2 and birdied the par-4 No. 4 to move to 1-under. However, he bogeyed Nos. 5, 6, 8 and 9 to make the turn at 3-over 39.
Fujikawa opened the back nine with a par on No. 10. He bogeyed the par-3 11th hole and parred the 12th. Three more bogeys and a lone birdie left the 16-year-old Moanalua High junior in danger of missing the cut.
Fujikawa is playing in his third professional tournament. He received a sponsor's exemption to the European Masters.
