Hoffman starts strong at SHO, looks to finish on top

HUMBLE, Texas – The Shell Houston Open remains a fertile hunting ground for Charley Hoffman.

The veteran is making his 10th start in this event, and he has never missed a cut. That streak is likely to continue after Hoffman opened with an 8-under 64, one shot off the course record. It gave him a one-shot lead over Dustin Johnson and Roberto Castro and marked his 16th sub-70 round at Golf Club of Houston – more than anyone else at this week’s venue.

“Houston has treated me well,” Hoffman said.
