The Vietnamese player, who is seeded No 3, needed just 57 minute to send the wild-card holder out of the tournament.
He will next play Bobrov Bogdan of Russia. The two met at the F2 tournament last week and Nam won 6-1, 6-4.
In the doubles event, Nam and his Spanish partner Carlos Boluda-Purkiss beat American Tyler Hochwalt and Sami Reinwein of Germany 6-3, 6-2.
The No 3 seed pair will face Sidharth Rawat and Manish Sureshkumar of India in the second round.
