"I hit it nicely. I thought I just took the momentum that I had from yesterday. I finished 5-under on my last nine yesterday and I just rolled that momentum right into today. I thought I made a huge putt for par on No. 1 and then I was kind of off to the races. I almost made a hole-in-one on No. 2 and just kind of cruising from there. It was a really nice round of golf," said the American.
"I didn't take a day off from last week until this week, just meaning I wanted to just be sharp. I was not very sharp last week. I played some good stretch of golf mixed with a lot of bad stretches of golf, so I just wanted to be a little sharper and play some better golf and within myself and I've been able to do that these first couple days."
American Patrick Rodgers closed with a 63 to move into second place at 9-under.
Fellow American Tyson Alexander (66) is tied in third place at 8-under with Sweden's Alex Noren who had three holes left in his round when play was suspended for the day.
China's Carl Yuan (66) and American James Hahn (65) share fifth place at 7-under.
Round 2 @HouOpenGolf has been suspended due to inclement weather and will resume tomorrow at 6:45 a.m. CT.
