2021 Texas Open scores: Jordan Spieth in contention after Round 1 in San Antonio as Camilo Villegas leads - CBS Sports

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Camilo Villegas chipped in twice to highlight a nine-birdie round that earned him an 8-under 64 and the first-round lead at the Valero Texas Open on Thursday.

He bogeyed his opening hole Thursday and birdied six of seven holes in the middle of his round.

For the day, three of his birdie putts came from longer than 15 feet, including a 21-footer at his second hole.

"It just got a little bit off there today off the tee on contact," Spieth said.

Scottie Scheffler, a Dallas native and former Texas Longhorns standout like Spieth, shared opening-round 68s with Tom Hoge and Sebastian Munoz.
