\n FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 Tom Lehman is 61 years old, 11 years into his Champions Tour career.<\/p>\n

Lehman won the Colonial 25 years ago, posting a 67 in his opening round and finishing that week with four rounds in the 60s in 1995.<\/p>\n

Until he teed it up in Thursday\u2019s opening round of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club, invited as a past champion, Lehman had not played this event since 2013.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning, playing in a star-packed field that includes the top five ranked players in the world and 16 of the top 20, Lehman shot a 5-under 65 to stand two shots out of the morning-wave lead of 7-under, held by Justin Rose.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I feel like I\u2019m capable of shooting a 65 out here at Colonial? Well, for certain, I do,\u2019\u2019 Lehman said. \u201cDid I expect to do it [Thursday]? Well, I would be probably lying if I said I fully expected to play and shoot such a low score. But I did expect to play well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been aiming for this week for a while,\u2019\u2019 Lehman went on. \u201cI live in Arizona, and we\u2019ve been able to play golf all the way through this COVID-19 thing, so I\u2019ve been playing a lot, practicing a lot. My game<\/a> feels pretty good. I love the golf course. It benefits people who put the ball in the fairway, no doubt. I hit it straight and made a few putts.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He did more than that.<\/p>\n

He shot the same score as reigning U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland. He was six shots better than Dustin Johnson and reigning British Open champion Shane Lowry, four shots better than Phil Mickelson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like the way I played,\u2019\u2019 Lehman said. \u201cI kind of felt like if I could just finish out 2-under, 3-under, I would have been really happ<\/a>y with that. To get a couple more is definitely frosting on the cake. There\u2019s a lot of rough out there, and if I don\u2019t drive it well, I\u2019m quite a ways back in some pretty thick rough. In order to play well for the next three days, I need to keep putting the ball in the fairway.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Why is Lehman here for the first time in seven years?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity presented itself, and as a past champion being eligible to play, I think the biggest thing is knowing that I\u2019m not taking a spot from some young guy out here on this tour,\u2019\u2019 Lehman said. \u201cSo, the ability to come and play without causing somebody else to not play actually was part of what determined whether I would play or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to play and to play in a tournament that I love so much and that I\u2019ve had some success at and I\u2019m part of the history here, that\u2019s kind of what drove me to want to do it.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
