Adam Scott shot a 5-under 65 Thursday on the TPC at Las Colinas and shared the first-round lead with Steve Lowery in the Australian's first appearance at the Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, Texas.

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. There were 37 rounds under par Thursday, 24 of them at Cottonwood.
