Mondilla romps to 8-stroke Calatagan win

Clyde Mondilla staked his claim as the hottest player on the ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour today, winning for the second straight time – an eight-stroke romp over Jhonnel Ababa in the ICTSI Calatagan Invitational on a closing 69 at the Calatagan Golf Club in Calatagan, Batangas on Saturday.

Unlike in his victory at Manila Masters at Eastridge two weeks ago where he battled from two strokes down in regulation and nipped rookie pro Jobim Carlos in sudden death, Mondilla this time won it in wire-to-wire fashion, storming unassailably ahead by seven halfway through before holding sway in the last 36 holes.
