Edoc leads Guico by 4
MANILA, Philippines — Zoji Edoc seized control in the boys’ 7-10 category with a blistering three-under 66, building a four-shot lead over Summit Point leg winner Zach Guico as the ICTSI John Hay Junior PGT Championship got under way yesterday at the John Hay Golf Club in Baguio.
The rising star from Taytay surged early, firing six birdies over the first 10 holes as he deftly navigated the course’s uphill climbs and downhill drops.
“This leg is especially important given the strength of the field, and I’m doing everything I can to come out on top,” said Edoc.
Guico, who drubbed Edoc by five shots at Summit Point, threatened early by birdying three of his first eight holes. But the mountain course struck back. Four bogeys over his last seven holes derailed his charge, leaving him with a 70 and trailing Edoc by four shots heading into the final round of the 36-hole tournament.
