HUMBLE, Texas — PGA Tour rookie Sam Ryder played just enough golf Thursday to get his name atop the leaderboard in the Houston Open. Beau Hossler, another PGA Tour rookie, was at 7 under through 16 holes. Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., shot a 3-under 69 to enter into a tie for 48th and Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., shot a 1-over 73. Suri left that World Golf Championship and had to qualify Monday to get into the Houston Open. Stricker is coming off a victory last week on the PGA Tour Champions, his second this year on the 50-and-older circuit.
