Byline: STEPHEN HAWKINS

Stewart Cink shot a 6-under 64 Thursday to lead 47 players who exploited a light breeze and broke par, taking the first-round lead at the U.S. PGA Tour's Colonial.

"It almost feels like it's too easy to play," Cink said.

Only a stroke back at 65 were long-hitting Bubba Watson, Zach Johnson, Arron Oberholser, Charley Hoffman and Stephen Ames, who briefly got to 7 under before running into trouble. Defending champion Kenny Perry was among a group of eight players at 66.

Of the 113 players who finished rounds Thursday, 66 shot par or better.

Cink began his bogey-free round with three straight birdies and was already 5 under through eight holes. He then had a 10-foot birdie putt at the 408-yard No. 9 that lipped the cup, the same thing that happened on his 19-footer at the 433-yard closing hole.
