SAN ANTONIO — Paul Goydos shot a 7-under 63 yesterday at La Cantera Golf Club for a share of the first-round lead in the Texas Open with Justin Leonard.

It’s the first time since 1999 that Goydos has opened a tournament with at least a share of the lead. Teeing off early in the morning, the 44-year-old Goydos had the lead for most of the day until Leonard birdied three of his last four holes in the afternoon. Leonard is pursuing a record fourth Texas Open championship, and hasn’t been tied for first this early at La Cantera since his first win in 2000.

Goydos shot a 29 on the front nine, a stroke shy of a personal tour best through nine holes. Leonard’s 63 was his best round in 11 tournaments here. Jeff Maggert, Marc Leishman and Ted Purdy opened with 64s, and Englishmen Brian Davis and Greg Owen shot 65s.
