CAVINTI, Laguna—Clyde Mondilla bounced back from a string of uncharacteristic performances in Davao with a decisive victory in the ICTSI Caliraya Springs Championship here Friday, turning what was expected to be a closely contested showdown with Keanu Jahns into a convincing three-stroke romp over Angelo Que with a 70.
The former Philippine Open champion credited his resurgence to adjustments in his putting, culminating in a pivotal round of 67 Thursday that propelled his title drive in the P2.5 million tournament, the third leg of this year’s Tour put up by ICTSI. Jahns, despite a birdie on the par-5 No. 4, faltered with bogeys on Nos. 6, 8 and 11. He hardly recovered with two birdies against two bogeys in the last seven holes, ending up with a 74 and slipping to joint third at 283 with Tae Soo Kim, who carded a 70. Each received P151,250.
Mondilla acknowledged the pressure from Que’s late surge, saying: “I expected Que to make a charge, so the pressure was there in the back nine. But with a three-shot lead after 9 holes, it seemed meant for me.”“Keanu played well, but he was just unlucky with his putting,” said Mondilla.
