Honda Classic
• Camilo Villegas, a 28-year-old native of Medellin, Colombia, carded a third-round 67 (six birdies, three bogeys) to move to 11-under 199. Villegas holds a three-stroke lead over Australia’s Nathan Green and Fiji’s Vijay Singh, the winner of the 1999 Honda Classic, after three rounds. Villegas’ three-stroke cushion is the largest after play on Saturday at this event since Todd Hamilton enjoyed a four-stroke advantage after 54 holes of the 2004 tournament. It has been a whirlwind week for Villegas, who followed up a T8 finish at last week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open — one of two top-10 finishes in as many starts in 2010 (3rd at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship) — with a quick trip to his home country to help kick off this week’s Pacific Rubiales Bogota Open on the Nationwide Tour.
