NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- Paul Casey is off to a good start in his final chance this year to get a victory.

Casey made birdie on the 18th hole at Albany Golf Club on Thursday for a 6-under 66 and a share of the first-round lead with Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson in the Hero World Challenge.

Casey is among five players in the 18-man field who has yet to win this year.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth made a hole-in-one on his second hole and was in the large group at 67 that included Bubba Watson and Adam Scott, who lives at Albany.
