HOUSTON -- Scottie Scheffler opened with two straight birdies and was on his way in the Houston Open, tying the Memorial Park course record he set in 2021 with an 8-under 62 for a one-shot lead among the early starters Friday.
It was the most complete round of the year for Scheffler, who missed the first month of the season recovering from a glass puncture in his right palm that required minor surgery.
The only green he missed was on No. 2 -- his 11th of the round -- and he holed that from just inside 30 feet for birdie.
