Tony Lascuña hit two late birdies at dusk and fired an eight-under 64 to wrest a two-shot lead over Mhark Fernando and James Ryan Lam in the weather-delayed first round of the ICTSI Manila Southwoods Championship at Southwoods’ Legends course in Carmona, Cavite on Wednesday.

Lascuna, seeking an end to five runner-up finishes after romping away with the ICTSI Calatagan crown last May, birdied all the par-5 holes and strung up a pair of 32s, putting to naught a missed-green bogey mishap on No. 15 and setting in motion his back-to-back title bid in the P2.5 million tournament.
