AVONDALE, La. (AP) – Boo Weekley had an eagle and seven birdies for an 8-under 64 and a share of the first-round lead with Brendon de Jonge on Thursday in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

De Jonge, from Zimbabwe, had eight birdies at rain-softened TPC Louisiana.

Sean O’Hair and Canada’s David Hearn shot 65 on the Pete Dye-designed layout.

Four of the top six players, including de Jonge, are winless on the PGA Tour.

Tour rookie Mark Hubbard had five consecutive birdies in the middle of his round and finished with a 66. He was tied with Erik Compton, Brian Davis, Greg Owen and Daniel Berger.
