Tom Hoge produced a bogey-free, eight-under-par 64 to lead after a rain-shortened first day of the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi on Thursday.

Hoge, who finished second in the PGA Tour's opening event last week, continued his strong form with a front nine of 31 before coming home in 33 - a monster 46-foot birdie putt on the 18th capping his day in fine style.

He ended as a one-stroke leader over Ireland's Seamus Power, Australia's Cameron Percy and fellow American Robert Streb, with a six-man group sitting two shots further back.

Zac Blair, Zach Johnson, Mark Anderson and Emiliano Grillo carded 67s to be tied for fifth.

Byeong Hun An and JT Poston are also on five under but are yet to finish their opening round after play was called off the for the day with around half the field still on the course.

Hoge's encouraging start to the season comes only weeks after he had to fight to regain his PGA Tour card at the Korn Ferry Tour Finals.
