Scottie Scheffler equalled the Memorial Park course record he set in 2021 to take a one-shot lead at the weather-affected Houston Open, while Rory McIlroy made the cut despite being hampered by a weather delay.

It was the most complete round of the year for Scheffler, who missed the first month of the season recovering from a freak glass puncture wound sustained at Christmas.

Scheffler opened his round with two birdies, the second of which saw him hole in from just inside 30 feet after the only missed green of his eight-under 62.
