Taylor Moore and Wilson Furr share the lead at the Texas Children’s Houston Open with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler lurking entering Friday’s second round
Taylor Moore and Wilson Furr carded six-under-par 64s on Thursday in the first round of the Texas Children’s Houston Open at Memorial Park Municipal Golf Course in Houston to share the lead entering Friday’s second round. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has won the last two events he’s played, shared third place with Davis Riley and Joe Highsmith one shot back. Defending champion Tony Finau entered Friday five shots off the pace after a first-round 69. Finau shot a tournament-record 264 last year and looks to become the first multiple winner in Houston since Stuart Appleby got his second career win there in 2006.
