Tim Clark, Stricker, Austin share Texas lead

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
South Africa’s Tim Clark carded a seven under par 63 for a share of the lead after the first round of the US PGA Tour's Crowne Plaza Invitational.
The European Tour member is level with American pairing Steve Stricker and Woody Austin at the top of the leaderboard at Colonial Country Club, Texas.
After four birdies on the way out Clark picked up shots at three consecutive holes from the 14th in a faultless round of golf.
Two time winner of the event Kenny Perry and Fiji’s Vijay Singh are a shot further back.
Last week’s BMW PGA Championship winner Paul Casey and his compatriot and Ryder Cup team-mate Ian Poulter are both going well after matching four under par rounds of 66 for a tie of eighth.
