RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Rasmus Neergard-Petersen looked plenty comfortable in his PGA Tour debut, playing bogey-free through 36 holes and shooting a 7-under 65 on Friday for a one-shot lead in the Puerto Rico Open. Ranked No. 88 in the world, Neergard-Petersen received a commissioner's exemption for international players into the event, which is played opposite the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. The 25-year-old from Denmark plays on the European tour and was second at the Qatar Masters in his previous start. Davis Riley was one shot back after a second-round 66 at Grand Reserve Golf Club.
