BEIJING, Feb. 8 -- Colombia's Camilo Villegas benefited from a late bogey by American John Rollins to take a one-shot lead after Friday's second round at the Buick Invitational in San Diego. On a cold day of wildly fluctuating weather at Torrey Pines, overnight pacesetter Villegas patiently ground out a two-under-par 70 for an 11-under total of 133.
Three ahead after the opening round, the 27-year-old mixed three birdies with a lone bogey on the South Course, the more difficult of the two layouts hosting the PGA Tour event.
A charging Rollins, who also played on the South, drew level with Villegas with one hole to play before finding the right rough off the tee and missing a five-foot putt for par.
Having covered his first 17 holes in nine-under, Rollins had to settle for a 64 and outright second place at 10-under.
San Diego native Charley Hoffman fired a seven-birdie 66 on the North Course to lie four strokes off the pace, one ahead of fellow Americans Paul Goydos (66) and Nick Watney (69).

Villegas, seeking his third PGA Tour title, was happy with his round after a difficult day of intermittent rain and sunshine at the wind-swept coastal venue. "I think I accomplished my goal," he told reporters after covering his last nine holes in level par.
