Spectacular putt gives Na lead by 1

FORT WORTH — Chipping in from the rough more than 90 feet for a closing birdie for another firstround lead at Colonial, Kevin Na ended a round of 8-under 62 for a one-stroke lead over Charley Hoffman at the Fort Worth Invitational. This is the sixth time Na has had the 18-hole lead on the PGA Tour, and the third at Colonial. His only victory came seven years ago in Las Vegas. Na started his round Thursday with six consecutive pars before going 6-under in a five-hole stretch. Wentworth. It could have been better for the fourtime major winner had he not missed a birdie putt from 3 feet at No. 18. McIlroy is playing the European Tour’s flagship event for the first time since 2015. Lucas Bjerregaard, whose only win came in Portugal last year, made seven birdies in a bogey-free round — his last at No. 18 giving him the outright lead over South Africans Dean Burmester and Darren Fichardt.
