2024 Texas Children's Houston Open: Round 1 highlights
Wilson Furr played the first round with one eagle, five birdies, and one bogey to tie for first place. Furr is playing his first season as a member of the PGA Tour, as he earned his card as a member of the Top 30 on the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour points list.
Furr is playing just his ninth PGA Tour tournament and sixth of the current season. He has made only one cut in 2024 (T38, Mexico Open at Vidanta).
The other leader is Taylor Moore who had a performance almost equal to Furr's, with one eagle, five birdies and one bogey.
Scottie Scheffler is tied for third place with Davis Riley and Joe Highsmith. Scheffler carded his 28th consecutive round under par on Thursday, an all-time PGA Tour record.
Scheffler and Tony Finau (T35, 1 under) were the only top pre-tournament favorites to finish in the Top 50. Wyndham Clark and Sahith Theegala finished T54 (even par), while Jason Day finished T100 (1 over).
