The first round of the Shell Houston open is in the books and low scores dominated the day. Jimmy Walker posted a 9-under 63 to take a two-shot lead over the final round as course conditions encouraged scoring early and often on Thursday. Nick O’Hern and Josh Teater were tied for second at 7-under.
