TORU NAKAJIMA carded a 70 in blustery conditions to command the field with a two-stroke edge over erstwhile leader U Minn Woon and four others—including amateurs Gab Manotoc and Russell Bautista—halfway through the Philippine Golf Tour Q-School at Splendido Taal in Tagaytay City on Wednesday.
It was the returning Elmer Salvador, however, who made the biggest jump as the 2009 Order of Merit winner rattled off four birdies in a five-hole stretch from No. 2 on his way home to match Woon’s best 69 Tuesday. But just when thought he had the firm and dry Splendido layout all figured out, he lost his rhythm and touch in high winds, bogeying Nos. 8 and 9, yielding more strokes on Nos. 12 and 14 and dropping two shots on the par-3 No. 17.
But the 22-year-old bidder from Mactan wavered with two bogeys against a birdie in the last five holes to settle for a 72.
