Chan-Alido wrests control with 62
Aidric Chan and Ira Alido put on a fiery birdie-eagle windup to fire a bogey-free 62 and seize a one-stroke lead over Ryan Monsalve and Lanz Uy at the start of the 5th National Doubles Amateur Golf Championship at Camp Aguinaldo Golf Club in Quezon City Sunday.
The Chan-Alido tandem actually battled back from two strokes down off Monsalve and Uy at the back and grabbed the lead by birdieing the par-3 17th. They closed out with an eagle under the four-ball (best ball) format.
Tied with the Chan-Alido and Jobim Carlos-Inigo Raymundo pairs with 32s after nine holes, Monsalve and Uy birdied the first two holes at the back but stumbled with a bogey on the 17th and needed to birdie the 18th to card a 63 and stay in contention.
Carlos and Raymundo flubbed a birdie putt on the 18th and settled for a 64 while Jama Reyes and Tom Kim put in a 65.
