Mondilla, 2 others forge ahead with 67s

Clyde Mondilla took up from where he left off, blasting in a bogey-free five-under 67 to seize control with unfancied Joenard Rates and Reymon Jaraula, one stroke ahead of Tony Lascuna and Jhonnel Ababa at the start of the P2 million ICTSI Calatagan Invitational in Calatagan, Batangas on Wednesday.

Mondilla continued to dish out top form coming off a playoff victory at ICTSI Manila Masters at Eastridge two weeks ago, hitting a pair of back-to-back birdies from Nos. 13 and 2 and adding another on the par-4 sixth while saving a couple of pars to kick off his drive for another crown with a 33-34 card at the Calatagan Golf Club.
