Sports Brief

ILOILO—Spain’s Marcos Pastor holed out with a six-foot birdie to highlight an eagle-spiked 68 and match local pride Rene Menor’s output for the third straight time on Friday as new leaders emerged in as many days in the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge here. Menor likewise pressed his bid for a second career win with his own version of a two-under card, aided by a four-birdie binge from No. 6. The two share the lead at a seven-under 203 after 54 holes in this P3-million event. Out to foil their title bids are Sydney-based Filipino Fidel Concepcion, who also carded a 68 to seize solo third at 204, completing an unexpected troika in the championship flight.
