Charley Hoffman starts strong at Shell Houston Open

Charley Hoffman birdied half the holes on the Golf Club of Houston course Thursday and had just a single bogey to shoot an 8-under-par 64 and take the first-round lead of the Shell Houston Open.

But the hard work lies ahead for Hoffman. The three-time PGA Tour winner from San Diego hasn't held up well on the weekends this season after giving himself good opportunities to claim titles. Closing 75s in his past two stroke-play tournaments even knocked him out of likely top-10 finishes.

HOFFMAN HOLDS ONTO LEAD AT SHELL HOUSTON OPEN

Charley Hoffman had a 2-under 70 for a one-shot lead over Jamie Lovemark at the Houston Open on Friday.

Lovemark was a former NCAA champion seeking his first PGA Tour title after having his career affected by back surgery. He was one of four players to shoot the day's low score, 68, under conditions that worsened as the afternoon went on, which helped protect Hoffman from the field.
