Carlos shoots course record in Iloilo

JOBIM Carlos ripped the Iloilo Golf and Country Club with a record eight-under 62 and stormed to a three-stroke lead over Jhonnel Ababa in the third round of the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge and into the threshold of another victory on the Philippine Golf Tour here yesterday.

Five shots behind Guido Van der Valk halfway through the P3 million ICTSI-sponsored event, Carlos closed out his brilliant 31-31 card in ideal playing condition the way he started it – on back-to-back birdies – as he took control again at 10-under 200, three ahead of Ababa, who shot a second straight 68 for a 203, and four up on Joenard Rates.

Van der Valk failed to keep the momentum of his lead-grabbing 66 Thursday, fumbling with a three-over 73 and tumbling from top to joint fourth at 206 with Rene Menor (67) and first round leader Tim Stewart of Australia (71). PR
