GEN. TRIAS, CAVITE—Jay Bayron carded a second straight 71 then thwarted a late assault by Tony Lascuña to lead by two halfway through the ICTSI Eagle Ridge Challenge at wind-raked Faldo here Thursday.

Bayron, seeking to snap a long spell on the Philippine Golf Tour, rattled off three straight birdies from No. 13 to move from third to the top but fumbled with a bogey on No. 16. He dropped two more strokes on Nos. 3 and 6 against an opening birdie en route to a 142 total.
