RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) — Alex Cejka birdied three of his last five holes Friday for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead in the wind-swept Puerto Rico Open.

Cejka birdied Nos. 5, 7 and 9 in a bogey-free round to reach 7-under 137 at Trump International-Puerto Rico. A four-time European Tour winner, the 44-year-old Czech-born German is winless on the PGA Tour.

Brandon Hagy was second. Making his third PGA Tour start, he birdied his final hole for a 67.

Argentina's Emiliano Grillo was third at 5 under after a 70.

Defending champion Chesson Hadley topped the group at 3 under after a 70.

First-round leader Mark Hubbard followed his opening 68 with a 74 to drop to 2 under.
