The 47-year-old birdied two of his three holes
to get off to a strong start on a day where scoring chances were
limited at Colonial Country Club. Hoffman's round was enough for
a one-shot advantage over five golfers tied for second.
Brian Harman, Tony Finau, Davis Riley, South Korea's S.H. Kim
and Scotland's Martin Laird opened with rounds of 4-under 66.
Hayden Buckley, Pierceson Coody, Robby Shelton and England's
Callum Tarren opened at 3-under 67. Collin Morikawa, coming off
last week's near-miss at the PGA Championship, shot a 2-under
68.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler carded a triple bogey en route to
a 2-over 72, the first time he's opened a PGA Tour event with a
round over par since the 2023 Tour Championship.
