Russell Henley, Talor Gooch, Marc Leishman of Australia and Luke List share lead at Houston Open
Ireland’s Leona Maguire opened with an eight-under 62 Thursday to take an early two-stroke lead at the Pelican Women’s Championship at Belleair, Fla.
“It was pretty stress-free,” Maguire said. “I think I played the par-threes really well and birdied all of them, which really helped. ... Probably the best I’ve drove it in quite a while. Had a lot of control over my golf ball today, which I feel like is key on this golf course just the way the greens are.”
Americans Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson and Danielle Kang are among the players bunched together in third, all taking different paths to their 65s. A rain delay of 2½ hours Thursday morning pushed back the schedule for the day. Sixty-six players will need to finish their first rounds Friday morning. Leishman, the highest-ranked player of the quartet at No. 35 in the world, nearly finished his round alone at 6 under but committed his only bogey of the day at the par-4 18th. He made six birdies and ranked fifth on the day in strokes gained: approach.
