Bo Van Pelt rolls down an incline after tripping over his golf bag during the second round at the Honda Classic Friday.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Camilo Villegas is proving that practice is overrated.

Sleep, too, for that matter.

His trip to the Honda Classic could have been an easy five-hour flight from Phoenix. Instead, it was a 2Z\x-day whirlwind through his native Colombia, replete with sponsor events and youth clinics, all as he helped kick off the Nationwide Tour Pacific Rubiales Bogota Open — the first PGA Tour-sanctioned event in his home country.

Villegas didn't even get a practice round in before the Honda. All worth it, he said.

A second consecutive round of 66 has Villegas tied with Anthony Kim entering Saturday's third round, both players having shot 8-under 132 through 36 holes.

"It's been a long week but it's been a good one," Villegas said, holding a giant bottle of energy drink, possibly for good reason. "Having the first Nationwide Tour event in Colombia is awesome. It's a dream come true for my country."

Villegas was one of many players to take advantage of a rare easier — but not easy, many players insisted — day at PGA National.

Vijay Singh (66) was a stroke back at 7 under, Jerry Kelly (65) was alone in fourth at 6 under, and a fivesome of players — Mike Weir, Matt Every, Graeme McDowell, Chez Reavie and first-round co-leader Nathan Green — all will enter the weekend three shots off the lead.

"I think we got the favorable wind today," Stephen Ames said.

Everybody did. Thursday was marked by wind gusts over 30 mph; Friday merely had occasionally strong breezes and little else.

It showed in the scoring.

Entering Friday, there had been 1,445 competitive Honda rounds played at PGA National, with just two rounds of 64: Luke Donald in 2008 and Greg Chalmers in 2009. On Friday alone, there were four — with Ames, Paul Casey, Weir and Kim all getting there.
