Rains halt PGT Splendido

LAUREL, Batangas , Philippines —  Adverse weather conditions forced the suspension of the second round of both the Philippine Golf Tour and the Ladies PGT, with only a handful of players able to complete the 36-hole play in the men’s side yesterday here.

The organizing body, Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. (PGTI) announced that the completion of the unfinished second round would start at 6:30 a.m. today, with the third round set to resume before 10 a.m.

When play was halted, Keanu Jahns and Daiya Suzuki shared the clubhouse lead with completed 36-hole totals of five-under 139 after rounds of 69 and 72, respectively.

In the Ladies PGT, Florence Bisera, after a 74, bounced back from a bogey start on No. 1 with birdies on the second and seventh holes, grabbing the clubhouse lead from first-round leader and rookie pro Jiwon Lee with a one-over aggregate after nine holes.

Lee, who led Tuesday with a 73, made three straight bogeys from No. 5 and slipped to joint second with Marvi Monsalve at three-over.
