Tantipokhakul, who tied for sixth in the Solaire Philippine Open two weeks ago and wound up joint 10th in this event last year, thus ended the locals’ domination of the region’s emerging circuit after the Filipinos ruled the last five legs of the 2018 PGT Asia season capped by Clyde Mondilla’s two-shot victory over American Nicolas Paez in the Philippine Open at The Country Club.

While Mondlla had an ominous start – bogeying the first hole after missing six-foot par putt – he recovered remarkably but second round leader Thai Tawit Polthai struggled big time, bogeying four of his first seven holes.

Polthai’s flawless opening round saw him gun down an eagle and three birdies for a 67, but the beautiful course reared its ugly head and punished almost everybody, Polthai included.

“It was a factor that it’s not windy too much and I was able to hit solid shots,” said Polthai. “Everything is perfect I guess, I was able to get up and down because I tried to play shot by shot.”

Picking up from his late charge that tied him with Jhonnel Ababa at 70 Wednesday, Pagunsan took advantage of near-ideal playing conditions in early start and fired two birdies after eight holes at the Langer course.

It could’ve been worse if not for my putting,” said Pagunsan, who one-putted Nos. 10, 11, 14, 15, 17 and 18 inside seven feet.” – Rey Pagunsan

Multi-titled Juvic Pagunsan goes for the one missing in his trophy cabinet as he headlines the elite international field in the Solaire Philippine Open slated April 3-6 at The Country Club in Laguna. Then an amateur, Pagunsan tied for second in 2004 at Riviera that saw the smooth-swinging shotmaker from Bacolod snatch the lead in […]
