PACIFIC PALISADES, California, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Colombian Camilo Villegas' overnight lead of three shots held up when the first round of the Northern Trust Open was completed on a sun-splashed Friday morning at Riviera Country Club.
Fourteen players were still out on the course when play was suspended in fading light on Thursday, South African Tyrone van Aswegen the best placed at four under with two holes to play.
However, van Aswegen was unable to get any closer to the superb eight-under 63 fired by Villegas as he finished par-bogey for an opening 68.
