Camilo Villegas finished off his second consecutive 8–under 64 to set a two-shot lead as play was suspended at the World Wide Technology Championship on Friday in Los Cabos, Mexico.

The 41-year-old from Colombia started his round eagle-birdie-birdie at El Cardonal at Diamante, the first Tiger Woods-designed course to be used at a PGA Tour event. He withstood two front-nine bogeys by adding six more birdies—including at each of his final three holes—to nose in front of the pack at 16–under 128.
