Wilson ties Villegas with late run in Phoenix
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 02 - 2010

Mark Wilson charged and Camilo Villegas faltered Friday, leaving them tied for the lead after the second round of the Phoenix Open.
The result was a two-way tie for the lead at 11-under 131 halfway through the Phoenix Open.
Wilson birdied the last four holes for a 5-under 66, while Villegas bogeyed the last when he missed a 14-foot putt for par, giving him a 69 and putting the pair on 11-under 131 at the halfway mark.
Eleven players were within two shots of the lead at TPC Scottsdale, which attracted a crowd of 101,709. Anthony Kim (65), Ryan Moore (66) and Rickie Fowler (67) were 10 under.
Tom Lehman, nine days shy of his 51st birthday, had a 67 to top a group of six at 9 under. Play was suspended because of darkness with one player, Matt Every, still on the course. He had a 3-footer for a birdie that would put him at 9 under.
Wilson, who was ill early in the week after returning from the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Cancun, Mexico, considers himself the bland one among those at the top of the leaderboard.
Villegas, who mixed three bogeys with an eagle and three birdies, was satisfied with his second round despite not matching his course-record 62 of the opening day.
Tee times Saturday were moved ahead an hour because of the chance of rain late in the day. Rain is more likely Sunday.
Englishman Ian Poulter, winner of Sunday's Match Play championship down the road in Marana, Arizona, followed a 1-over 72 Thursday with an 8-under 63 on Friday. He felt so exhausted after last week's big win that he fully anticipated missing Friday's cut.
Phil Mickelson was within reach of the lead after consecutive 68s left him at 6 under.
Inkster, Miyazato share lead
American Juli Inkster is on track to become the oldest winner in LPGA history, claiming a share of the lead in the HSBC Women's Champions event after Saturday's third round.
The 49-year-old Inkster will have to withstand the challenge of co-leader and form player Ai Miyazato of Japan and four other rivals who were two shots off the pace in Singapore.
Inkster led most of Saturday, shooting a 3-under 69 to leave her at 7-under 209 after three rounds.
But Miyazato, who won the season-opening LPGA event last week in Thailand, jumped into a tie with a 39-foot putt for eagle on 16, helping her to a round of 69.
Among those poised two shots back was Japan's Momoko Ueda, who has shot 68s the past two rounds. With her at 5-under were three South Koreans: Sun Young Yoo (71), Hee Young Park (69), and Hee
