VILLEGAS WITH LEAD: Camilo Villegas has the lead following a round on the PGA Tour for the fifth time in his young career. His 5-under 65 leads Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Tim Herron, Andres Romero and Stuart Appleby by one shot.

Here is how Villegas, who is still looking for his first PGA Tour win, has fared with the lead: -- (6:34 p.m. ET)

He made birdie on his first two holes and his last two Friday, andadded two more birdies in between. Kim simply gave too many shots back with four bogeys, though.

KIM UPDATE: Anthony Kim's round of 68 could have been so much better.

"I played a lot better than I scored," Kim admitted. "That's been the case the last several months. My game's moving in the right direction. I'm looking forward to Putting some good holes together, stringing some good rounds together and then it'll all pay off."

Kim had his chances on Friday, too. He started on the back nine and rolled in a 21-footer at No. 10 and a 22-footer at the 11th. His other birdie putts came from 11, 25, 2 and 30 feet as Kim tied for first in total distance of putts made at 135 feet, 6 inches.
