Lascuna wavers but pads lead to two in Calatagan

Tony Lascuna crumbled at the finish in sweltering heat and settled for a 71 but stretched his lead to two as Juvic Pagunsan likewise stumbled on his way home in the second round of the P1 million ICTSI Calatagan Challenge at the Calatagan Golf Club on Thursday.

Lascuna, who started the round just a stroke ahead of Pagunsan after an opening 67, pulled away early with a 33 as he went as low as nine-under with another birdie on No. 12. But he drove out of bounds on the par-5 13th and made a double bogey then flubbed a five-footer for par on 17th for a 38 and a 71.
