Bob Hope Classic: Jhonattan Vegas, Boo Weekley Lead After Second Round

Jhonattan Vegas and Boo Weekley surged into the second round lead at the Bob Hope Classic, tied atop the leaderboard at 13-under for the tournament. Weekley shot a 6-under-66 and Vegas shot a 5-under-67 as both shared a one-shot lead heading into Friday’s third round.

Vegas is a relative unknown on the PGA Tour, competing in just his fifth event. He earned his tour card in 2010, becoming the first Venezuelan to play on the tour. He brings a feel-good story with him, moving to the United States in 2002 and working hard to learn English and get into college before earning his way onto the PGA tour.
