After two rounds of action in the Puerto Rico Open at Coco Beach Golf and Country Club, Rafael Campos will enter the weekend with a one-stroke advantage at nine under par.


Campos fired a one-under 71 during Friday's second round in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, but 2012 Puerto Rico Open champion George McNeill is lurking closely behind at eight under. Here is a closer look at the top of the leaderboard, courtesy of the PGA Tour's official website:



By virtue of an eight-under 64 in the opening round, Campos entered Friday as the leader. While his performance in the second round dropped off in comparison to what he did Thursday, it was enough for him to maintain his place at the top.

The 27-year-old former Virginia Commonwealth University standout is a native of San Juan, which makes his hot start to the tournament even more special.

Even so, it was unexpected after the struggles he had during his previous entries in the Puerto Rico Open, as the PGA Tour's official Twitter account pointed out:



ESPN.com's Jason Sobel also touched on the unlikelihood of Campos being in this position after two strong rounds of golf:



Campos started on the back nine Friday and played it cleanly, with one birdie and no bogeys.

That included perhaps the best sequence of shots of the day, when he birdied the par-five 18th thanks to a remarkable approach shot and perfect putt:



The second half of Campos' day was shakier, as he bogeyed a pair of holes, but he canceled them out with two birdies to enter the clubhouse with the lead.

McNeill is Campos' closest competition after matching him with a one-under 71 to go along with the seven-under 65 he carded in the first round.

Campos' biggest worry may be further down the leaderboard, however, in the form of Ian Poulter.
