Mondilla pads lead to 6, nears title

ANTIPOLO—Unshaken at the top, Clyde Mondilla can perhaps start preparing for the long Philippine Golf Tour break or drawing up his next jaunt on the Asian Development Tour. This after the Del Monte ace stretched his lead to six in the ICTSI Forest Hills Classic despite posting his “highest” score in three days, a 68, and making his first bogey after 50 holes for an 19-under 194 total spiked by an 11-under 60 start and a second round 66 at the par-71 Nicklaus course.

Angelo Que tried to mount an early charge with four frontside birdies and kept rolling at the back to finish with an eagle-aided 33. But his 64 could only thrust him from fourth to second at 200 although he chopped four precious shots off Mondilla’s previous 10-stroke lead over him after 36 holes.

Unfancied Albin Engino bravely held his ground while slugging it out
