Rafael Campos ended his round birdie-bogey for a 5-under 67 to take a share of the lead in his native Puerto Rico on Saturday.


"I felt today I hit the ball very well, with the exception of the last couple of holes," said Compos. "But I'm really happy with where I'm standing right now, and I really think I can't be in a better position basically for tomorrow. Hopefully, just kind of keep doing the same thing we're doing. I really feel comfortable with my swing."

Campos, the first Puerto Rican winner on the Korn Ferry Tour, has finished in the top-10 twice in his home event, tying for 8th in 2016 and for 10th in 2017.



"I know there's a lot of things that can basically change my life tomorrow," said Campos. "But truth is, I'm just really happy. I have been playing good golf the last two weeks, and I really want to keep that mindset of the work I have been putting in the last four months, I'm starting to see good results.

"I think I will just focus on that, focus on playing the golf course the way I know how to play it, be aggressive when I have to be aggressive, and be conservative when I obviously don't feel comfortable. So, yeah, I really don't want to think about tomorrow. I just want to go out and hopefully play some good golf."


Grayson Murray on the other hand bogeyed the 17th and birdied the 18th to close with a 65 for his share of the lead.

"I had the putter rolling and just kind of kept it rolling throughout the round," said Murray. "We had to stop and start. We were a little unfortunate, but they were quick. And the PGA TOUR did a good job of kind of keeping us out there and not bringing us in each time."


Play had to be stopped three times in the afternoon due to heavy downpours with more expected overnight and into the morning.

Murray's only win so far on Tour was at the 2017 Barbasol Championship which was also played opposite a World Golf Championship.

"It's been a long time since I have been in a situation like this, but I'm not afraid of the moment. And at the end of the day, you still got to play good golf, no matter -- no matter who's chasing you or who I'm chasing."



Overnight leader Brandon Wu closed with a 71 and is tied for fifth place at 12-under alongside Andrew Putnam with a 71 and Nelson Ledesma with a 67.

"Had to scramble a little bit harder today," said Wu. "I think it was playing tougher, the start and the stop, the rain, crazy conditions."
