(Reuters) - Local favorite Rafael Campos rode the support of another enthusiastic gallery to maintain a one-shot lead over George McNeill after the second round at the Puerto Rico Open on Friday.
Both players carded one-under-par 71 on the Coco Beach course in breezy conditions on the Caribbean island.
Campos, trying to become the first Puerto Rican since Chi Chi Rodriguez in 1979 to win on the PGA Tour, could not emulate his opening 64, but did enough to post a nine-under 135 midway total.
American McNeill was alone on eight-under, with Englishman Ian Poulter (66) among a group two shots off the pace.
