Rey Pagunsan birdied No. 17 and made a bunker save on the tough finishing hole to shoot a four-under 66 and grab a two-stroke lead over former champions Tony Lascuna and Cassius Casas halfway through the rich The Country Club Invitational at the TCC layout in Canlubang on Friday.

As surprise overnight leader amateur Princess Superal fumbled with a 72 after showing up the elite field with a bogey-free 67 on Thursday, Pagunsan took charge with another strong start he capped with a solid windup, pooling a six-under 134 and towing the elite field to the weekend play of the P5 million event.
