Maui, HI (SportsNetwork.com) - Russell Henley fired an 8-under 65 on Friday as he grabbed a 1-stroke lead after the opening round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

He birdied five of the first seven holes and carded eight birdies in a bogey-free round on the Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort.

Jimmy Walker, a three-time winner last season, carded a 6-under 67. He was joined in third place by Patrick Reed, Scott Stallings, Ben Martin and Robert Streb, who sits atop the FedExCup points list. Defending champion Zach Johnson opened with a 5-under 68. He shares eighth place with world No. 11 Matt Kuchar, John Senden and Chris Kirk. J.B. Holmes, Steven Bowditch, Kevin Streelman, Matt Jones, Brendon Todd and Nick Taylor are one stroke back at minus-4. Henley poured in a 21-footer for birdie on the first and made his second birdie at the third. After a par on the fourth, Henley rolled in back-to-back 5-foot birdie putts at five and six. At the seventh, Henley converted a 32-foot birdie effort to move to 5-under and within two of the lead. He ran off four straight pars from the eighth before he poured in a 26-foot birdie putt on the 12th. Henley parred his next three, including the 15th, where he made a 12-footer for par after losing his second shot in the trees left of the fairway. I was prepared after that shot for whatever score I was going to make, and I knew I was just going to keep trucking, said Henley of his second shot at 15. After a trio of pars, Henley grabbed a piece of the lead with a 22-foot birdie putt on No. 16. Henley reached the green in two at the par-5 18th and 2-putted for a closing birdie, which gave him the lead. We had a good wind today and the course is firming up. My second year here, I feel a lot more comfortable, Henley admitted. I feel good (on these greens). I like Bermuda grass. Both my wins have come on Bermuda grass. Seventeen and 18, I hit four perfect shots coming in. Bae also carded his first birdie of the day at the second. He kicked off a hot stretch of golf with a 19-foot birdie effort at the fourth. Bae followed with a 2-putt birdie at the par-5 fifth. The reigning Frys.com Open champion birdied three straight from the fifth, all from 15 to 19 feet out, to make it five in a row. That gave Bae a brief 4-shot lead at minus-6. Around the turn, Bae stumbled to a bogey at the 11th. He atoned for that mistake with a short birdie on No. 14. Bae made it two in a row as he dropped in a 10-foot birdie putt at 15 to get to 7-under. He closed his round with three straight birdies. I started really, really good on the front nine. I made a lot of putts. It was a pretty easy nine (holes), Bae said. NOTES: Henley has the first-round lead for the first time in his career ... Kuchar needed just 10 putts on the front nine, and he finished the round with 26 putts ... Johnson opened with a 67 last year when he beat Jordan Spieth by a single stroke. Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey .
