(Reuters) - Australian Marc Leishman birdied three of his first five holes on the way to a "fairly stress-free" round and an early one-shot lead at the Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, Texas on Thursday.

The 30-year-old from Victoria, bidding for a second career victory on the PGA Tour, carded a four-under-par 66 in breezy conditions for the opening round at the TPC Four Seasons Resort Las Colinas.
