Hot start nets Cyna two-shot lead

Cyna Rodriguez went on an early birdie-binge to shoot a four-under 68 in windy condition, repelling Thai Amolkan Phalajivin and Jayvie Agojo’s token challenge but finding a slew of amateurs as her pursuers at the start of the ICTSI Sherwood Ladies Championship at the Sherwood Hills Golf Club in Cavite.

Reigning US Girls Junior champion Princess Superal overcame a two-over card after five holes with four birdies in the last 13 holes to fire a two-under 70 and lead five other amateurs chasing Rodriguez as the pros either stumbled in tough condition or in poor form in the P750,000 event serving as the final leg of the eight-stage ICTSI Ladies Philippine Golf Tour.
