Hawai'i's Wilson in Nelson hunt

Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — Adam Scott shot a 5-under 65 yesterday on the TPC at Las Colinas and shared the first-round lead with Steve Lowery at the Byron Nelson Championship.

Despite a pair of three-putt bogeys in a three-hole stretch, Scott had the best round of the day on the 7,052-yard TPC course after a closing 11-foot birdie putt.

Lowery shot his bogey-free 65 across the street on the easier 6,871-yard Cottonwood Valley layout, where Scott gets to play his second round today.

Bob Estes and Brett Wetterich both had opening 66s at Cottonwood Valley.

Hawai'i's Dean Wilson, who played at Cottonwood Valley, was in a group of 10 at 67.
