Pauline del Rosario recalled her fierce form and fired an eagle-aided four-under 68, storming to a four-stroke lead over a late-charging Chihiro Ikeda at the start of the ICTSI Splendido Ladies Classic at Taal Splendido Golf Club in Tagaytay on Tuesday.

Making up for her third place finish at Forest Hills Challenge ruled by Ikeda two weeks ago, del Rosario put on a strong start with three birdies in the first eight holes then rebounded from a three-putt miscue on No. 9 with a spectacular eagle from 40 feet on the par-5 10th to string a 34-34 card.
