Clyde Mondilla blazed home with a birdie-par-eagle feat and shot a four-under 68, forcing a four-way tie for the lead with veteran Frankie Miñoza, rookie pro Ira Alido and American John Catlin at the start of the $60,000 ICTSI Orchard Golf Championship at the Orchard’s Player course in Dasmariñas, Cavite on Wednesday.

Mondilla came out of a roller-coaster round in one of the late flights with a birdie on No. 15 from close range then bucked the wind and eagled the par-5 18th to finish with a 35-33 in a day of mixed fortunes with a number of pre-tournament favorites living up to the hype and a host of others reeling with over-par scores.
