(Reuters) - American Charley Hoffman, bidding for a fourth PGA Tour victory, took advantage of a favourable afternoon start to seize a one-stroke lead in the opening round of the Texas Open in sunny San Antonio on Thursday.

With conditions a little easier in the afternoon after the morning field had struggled in strong gusting winds, Hoffman fired a flawless five-under-par 67 on the challenging layout at the TPC San Antonio.
