Aidric Chan’s record 64 lifts Ateneo 2

MANILA, Philippines—Ateneo 2 spearhead Aidric Chan fired a series record eight-under-par 64 gross score to ensure another victory by his team in Midgets 2 of the second leg of the ICTSI Inter-school golf tournament at the Aoki course of the Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club in Gen. Trias, Cavite.

While Ateneo 2 moved beyond reach of Ateneo 3, the battle between La Salle Green Hills 5 and La Salle Zobel for Midgets 1 remained tight.

Chan made an eagle and eight birdies to offset a double-bogey for 62 points under the Molave system of scoring. With the 54 points of his cousin Carl Jano Corpus, Ateneo 2 chalked up 116 for a 36-hole total of 206 and a whopping 66-point lead over Ateneo 3 in the penultimate round of the series.

Chan’s superb effort was just 14 points less than the 76-point output for the round of Ateneo 3 (140) which got 40 from Raphael Samson and 36 from Andres Magalong.

The rest of the pack were farther behind with Ateneo 4 at 109, LSGH 6 at 81, Brent 4 60 and Xavier 8 55.

The LSGH 5 trio of Ryan Monsalve, Spade Barbers and EZ Serapio held off the big charge of La Salle Zobel to stay on top by four strokes in Midgets 1.
