McDowell has a 66 on US PGA Tour
 
FROM SKY SPORTS.COM
Colonial debutant Graeme McDowell carded a four-under-par 66 to trail the leaders by one stroke after the first round at the US PGA Tour's Dean and DeLuca Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday.
Americans Kelly Kraft, J.T. Poston and Derek Fathauer lead on 65, but most of the big names made acceptable starts at Colonial Country Club, with Jon Rahm shooting 66, Phil Mickelson 67, Sergio Garcia 69 and Jordan Spieth 70.
Northern Ireland's McDowell has always missed the tournament because it invariably clashes with the European Tour's PGA Championship at Wentworth.

But he kept hearing from other players that his game would be suited to the Colonial Country Club that favours shotmakers rather than long hitters, and with no Ryder Cup this year, he decided it was the perfect time to find out.
"It's a real classic old-school golf course," the 2010 US Open champion, McDowell, told PGATour.com after taking advantage of his morning tee time to notch four birdies.
