THAI ACE IN COMMAND

CARMONA, Cavite – While the challenging conditions at the Manila Southwoods' Masters course bedeviled most of his rivals, Thai star Sadom Kaewkanjana went about business with cold efficiency and came out unscathed.

Kaewkanjana, whose shining resume boasts a joint 11th finish in The 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews in 2022, turned in a bogey-free five-under 65 en route to pole position in the Smart Infinity Philippine Open yesterday.

A two-time Asian Tour winner who had competed in back-to-back US PGA Championships in 2022 and 23, Kaewkanjana opened his round with birdies on Nos. 11, 14 and 17 before adding two more on Nos. 1 and 7 en route to his 33-32 that put him one ahead of compatriots Danthai Boonma and Pavit Tangkamolprasert and Australian Aaron Wilkin at 66.
