Jahns opens 3-shot lead

LUBAO, Pampanga , Philippines  – Keanu Jahns capitalized on another scoring opportunity at Pradera Verde Golf and Country Club, delivering a second straight 68 to seize control of the ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship and open a three-shot lead over Tony Lascuña at the halfway mark here yesterday.

Not even a late-round downpour that forced a one-hour suspension of play could derail Jahns’ charge back to the top of the leaderboard. He calmly closed with a string of four pars for a pair of 34s and a 36-hole aggregate of 136.

“My ball-striking was much better today. I hit more greens, made the same number of putts and cut my bogeys down to just one after making three in the opening round,” said Jahns.
