Charley Hoffman Leads After Round 1 at Charles Schwab Challenge
Charley Hoffman took the lead at the Charles Schwab Challenge after the first round at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, with a score of 5-under 65. The 47-year-old golfer recorded a bogey-free round, giving him a one-shot advantage over five players tied for second. The group at 4-under 66 includes Brian Harman, Tony Finau, Davis Riley, South Korea's S.H. Kim, and Scotland's Martin Laird.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finished the first round with a 2-over 72, marking his first over-par opening round in a PGA Tour event since the 2023 Tour Championship. Jordan Spieth ended with a 1-over 71, while defending champion Emiliano Grillo shot a 4-over 74. The tournament conditions were influenced by recent torrential rains, making the course softer and presenting unique challenges to the players.
