Engino, Miñoza match 68s in wild start

Obscure Albin Engino and legend Frankie Miñoza took different routes but produced the same results as they matched two-under 68s in varying fashions to seize control at the start of the ICTSI Negros Occidental Golf Classic presented by MORE Power on Wednesday in Bacolod City.

Engino, still in search of a breakthrough win in a long pro career, birdied two of the last four holes in a big frontside finish to save a 35-33, while the Miñoza fumbled with a bogey No. 16 from the bunker in a late mishap that spoiled what could've been an explosive start for the multi-titled campaigner who posted his last victory here in 2016.
