LIPA City—Juvic Pagunsan emerged from a crowded leaderboard in the last eight holes to seize control of the ICTSI Summit Point World 18 Challenge here, churning out a second straight 64 for a two-stroke lead over Tony Lascuña.
A crisp approach shot on the par-4 18th set up a birdie chance from six feet, which he calmly knocked in to cap a brilliant backside 31 and firm up his lead at 17-under 199.
Lascuña turned in his own version of a 33-31 that moved the veteran shotmaker from joint sixth to solo second at 201.
“It was a superb game and I hope I could sustain it to the finish,” Pagunsan said.
American Brett Munson, who started the day ahead by three over Pagunsan and Jhonnel Ababa, dropped to joint seventh at 205.
