Korean ties Jahns for lead

Korean Tae Won Ha and Keanu Jahns staged a dramatic late charge under the scorching Bacolod sun to fire 64 and 65, respectively, and seize joint leadership from a faltering Aidric Chan in a thrilling second round of the ICTSI Bacolod Golf Challenge here on Wednesday.

The players battled not just the demanding par-70 Bacolod Golf and Country Club layout but also the punishing heat, which replaced days of rainfall and rendered the course both softer and longer. The shift in weather demanded a complete recalibration in course management, favoring those who could adapt with precision and patience.

The Korean went bogey-free, birdieing Nos. 4, 8 and 9 inside 15 feet, then sticking a 7-iron from 175 yards to three feet on the par-5 15th for eagle.
