HYUN HO RHO outgunned Ryan Monsalve in an early shootout between two emerging stars of the Philippine Golf Tour, spiking his solid, five-under 67 with a hole-in-one in the first round of the ICTSI Philippine Masters in Pasay City on Wednesday.
The 2023 PGT Q-School topnotcher aced the 195-yard No. 4 then had three birdies, including two in the last three holes. His bogey-free 33-34 performance came in scorching conditions at the Villamor Golf Club which yielded just five under-par rounds.
Mr. Monsalve had an impressive start in the third flight with Rho and veteran Marvin Dumandan, firing an eagle at the par-5 No. 2 and bouncing back from a mishap on the third hole with birdie on No. 6.
