Palm Beach Gardens, FL (Sports Network) - Camilo Villegas eagled the par-5
18th at PGA National on Thursday to grab a 1-stroke lead after the opening
round of the Honda Classic.
Villegas, whose last PGA Tour win came at this event in 2010, added four
birdies en route to a 6-under 64.
Rickie Fowler, Branden Grace, Graham DeLaet and Robert Streb are tied for
second place at 5-under 65 after the first official day of the Tour's Florida
swing.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods are part of a large group tied
for 61st at even par. Last year, McIlroy held off a furious charge by Woods to
secure the win and the world No. 1 ranking. Both players are coming off first-
round exits at the WGC - Accenture Match Play Championship.
