Carlos, Constantino storm to 6-shot leads

Pro-bound Jobim Carlos and Harmie Constantino came away with scorching rounds in surprisingly calm condition and threatened to blow the field away halfway through the Philippine Amateur (Stroke Play) Open Golf Championship at the Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club in Gen. Trias, Cavite on Wednesday.

Carlos, who needed to pounce on Ira Alido’s late-hole mishap to wrest a one-stroke lead on a 73 in the opener of the 72-hole championship Tuesday, leaned on his day-long brilliance this time to fire a four-under 68 and take full control of the big international field at 141 for a six-stroke lead over Jang Jun Ha and Alido.
