The tandem of JP Reyes and Ace Stehmeier are currently leading the way in Division I in the 51 st Golden Tee, the premier member-guest tournament of Manila Golf.
Reyes and Stehmeier combined for 113 and 108 for two-day net points of 221, five ahead from JJ Lim and Ray Jacinto, who made 102 and 114 for 216.
Nicky de Buncio, grandson of the late ultra bilyonaryo George S.K. Ty, and Jacinto Ng III, Bryan Cockrell and Sofia Arena are still in contention after assembling 123 points on Wednesday.
In Division II, Dan and Jay Laurel are in the driver’s seat with 239 (122-117) followed by Francis Ngo’s 233 and Lorenzo Yap’s 112-121.
May Lim and Masumi Tago 226 (111-115) are leading Division III. However, their lead is not safe as Ramon Cojuangco Jr. and Yuko Yahiro could make a run for it after scoring 120 on their first round.
