Handling the on-and-off rain clouds and an annoying breeze most effectively were a group of four players including Taylor Pendrith and Keith Mitchell who rose to the top of the leaderboard thanks to first-round 65s.

Ryan Gerard and Keith Mitchell are part of a four-way tie for the lead at the rainy and windy Houston Open. They each shot 65.
