Young Josh Jorge blew a fiery start with a faltering finish but seized the spotlight just the same with a one-over 73 while Harmie Constantino took her familiar role as leader at the start of the stroke play eliminations of the Philippine Amateur Open Match Play Golf Championships at Orchard’s Players course in Dasmariñas, Cavite, on Monday.
Jorge, 15, came through with superb iron shots to show the way in the first round of the 36-hole eliminations.
Carl Corpus, Don Padilla and defending champion Peter Tyler Po all carded 75s.
Constantino, runner-up here last year, birdied the last hole to save a 74 and post a four-stroke lead over Korean Kim Hui Won, who turned in a 78, as the other local bets struggled in hot conditions.
