Aniceto Mandanas rode on a four-birdie binge in the early going to cushion the impact of a faltering windup, settling for a one over 72 and a two-stroke lead over Aidric Chan and Richnell Albano at the start of the NGAP Northern Luzon Regional Golf Championship at the Beverly Place Golf Club in Pampanga on Thursday.

Mandanas actually stumbled with a bogey on the par-3 second but ran off four straight birdies from No. 3 to seize control of the 18-player field in the centerpiece Elite Amateur (Men’s) division of the event sponsored by the MVP Sports Foundation, Smart, PLDT and MPIC.
