Pagunsan wavers, falls to 4-way tie with 68 in Tagaytay

Rey Pagunsan blew a six-under par card with a bogey-bogey finish at the front, settling for a 68 and dropping to a four-way tie for the lead as the favorites floundered at the start of the P1 million ICTSI Splen-dido Classic at the Splendido Golf and Country Club here on Wednesday.

Pagunsan, seeking an end to a string of poor finishes, including a missed cut stint in the last ICTSI-Philippine Golf Tour leg at Southwoods last month, appeared headed for an explosive windup after an opening 34 at the back, going at six-under with a pair of back-to-back birdies from Nos. 1 and 6.
