[Title] => Miñoza closes in on leaders
[Summary] => Frankie Miñoza, out to atone for his miserable showing last week in the Kirin Open, sizzled with a six-under par 66 yesterday as the Filipino ace shotmaker sustained his first round charge to be in contention in the Chunichi Crowns golf championship of the Japan PGA Tour.
Miñoza, who limped in 22nd place last week following a series of solid performances that put him among the top five players in the current Order of Merit derby, had a 36-hole aggregate of 134, counting his opening four-under 68 Thursday.

[Title] => Miñoza fires 73 for 22nd
[Summary] => Frankie Miñoza closed out his stint in the rich Kirin Open the way he started it — struggling — as the Filipino shotmaker limped with a two-over par 73 yesterday and finish in joint 22nd place in the $819,000 event successfully defended by Shingo Katayama.

[Title] => Zarate seizes control with bogeyless 66
[Summary] => ANTIPOLO  Danny Zarate, a talented often overshadowed shotmaker whose Top 10 finish two weeks ago at Sherwood boosted his confidence shaken by mediocre campaigns on the Asian PGA Tour, shot a bogey-free five-under par 66 yesterday to show the way at the start of the CAP-Forest Hills Classic at the Forest Hills Golf Club here.

[Title] => Casas hits NGAP for favoritism
[Summary] => ANTIPOLO — Believing that his status and reputation as the country’s top pro outside of Frankie Miñoza was grossly compromised, Cassius Casas yesterday blasted the National Golf Association of the Philippines for its handling of the list of two local pros invited to the prestigious Kirin Open in Japan April 19-22.
"Unfair naman yon. Talagang pinersonal nila ako," said a fuming Casas, who charged the NGAP of intentionally omitting his name in the list in favor of a player nominated by the golf body.

[Title] => Miñoza joint 11th; Delasin recovers
[Summary] =>
Frankie Miñoza closed out with a second straight 72 yesterday and
settled for joint 11th place in the $952,000 Tsuruya Open won by Australian
Richard Blackwell in a thrilling sudden death with third round leader Hidemichi
Tanaka.
Miñoza thus wound up with a 282, which included earlier rounds of two
69s and another 72, in a respectable stint that should augur well for his bid
in this week's Kirin Open, where another Filipino, Cassius Casas, is seeing
action.
It was Miñoza's best finish after a series of mediocre performances
since late last year.

[Title] => Bad day for Frankie, Joy
[Summary] =>
Frankie Miñoza failed to keep the momentum of his solid back-to-back 69s
as he slowed down with a 72 yesterday and dropped five strokes off Hidemichi
Tanaka with one round left in the Tsuruya Open in Kawanishi, Japan.
Miñoza, whose 36-hole aggregate of 138 kept him in the thick of the
fight for top honors in this $952,000 event, the third leg of the Japan PGA
Tour, slid to 210, five shots behind Tanaka, who took a two-shot lead heading
into the final round after a 69 and a 205.
With Miñoza dropping to joint eighth with Yoshinori Mizumaki (70) and

[Title] => Fired up Frankie fires 69
[Summary] =>
Frankie Miñoza, unable to get untracked in the first two tournaments in
the Japan PGA Tour, finally got going yesterday, firing a three-under-par 69 to
trail Korean Kim Jong-duck by just two strokes at the start of the Tsuruya Open
in Kawanishi, Japan.
Miñoza, priming up for next week's Kirin Open, which he won three years
ago, strung up nines of 34-35 at the 6,837-yard Sports Shinko Country Cub
course in a start that could augur well to the 39-year-old Filipino's bid
following a series of forgettable finishes in the lucrative circuit since last
year.
