ANTIPOLO, Philippines — In a remarkable display of poise and skill, 13-year-old Yunju An upstaged a seasoned field at the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour, carding a gritty 73 under wet conditions to take a two-shot lead at the ICTSI Forest Hills Classic here yesterday.

Fresh from a victory in the Junior PGT Luzon Series 6 at Mount Malarayat, An started with a birdie but stumbled with bogeys on holes 2, 9 and 14. Nonetheless, her steady play allowed her to climb to the top of the 54-hole tournament, the seventh leg of the LPGT circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.

Jiwon Lee, coming off a victory at Splendido Taal in her LPGT debut, surged early with two birdies but settled for a 75, tied for second with Florence Bisera and Apple Fudolin.

Sarah Ababa closed the day in a tie for fifth, alongside Chihiro Ikeda, Miya Legaspi and Kayla Nocum, all of whom carded 76s.
