Coody twins make history, Davis Riley’s swing fix among things to know from opening round of 2024 Houston Open
HOUSTON – Guess who’s near the top of the leaderboard again? Yup, it’s the World No. 1.
Scottie Scheffler is tied for third after the first day of play at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course. Scheffler, who won his last two starts at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship, opened with a bogey-free 5-under 65 and had his 28th straight round under par, breaking a PGA Tour record.
All in a day’s work for Scheffler. He trails only Taylor Moore, who shot 6-under 64 after a bogey on his first hole, and Wilson Furr, who tied Moore on top with a 20-foot birdie putt on his final hole.
The top of the leaderboard has plenty of PGA Tour winners while it also boasts a good mix of rookies. With the change from a fall event to the spring, the golf course is completely different than it has played in the past, but pros are raving about it. And plenty of golfers took advantage of scorable conditions on a perfect Thursday.
