ANTIPOLO – Tony Lascuña bucked a bogey start and the spirited charge of the elite field, shooting a six-under 65 to wrest a two-stroke lead over Clyde Mondilla and three others at the start of the ICTSI Forest Hills Championship at the Forest Hills Golf and Country Club here yesterday.
Lascuña, hardly showing the effects of a grueling stint in Thailand last week, recovered from his early mishap with solid driving and superb iron shots, setting up birdie chances inside seven feet which he made, including on Nos. 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 16 and 18.
“My irons clicked and so was my putting,” said Lascuña, chasing a third leg win on the ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour.
