ANTIPOLO, Philippines — Keanu Jahns carded a sensational seven-under-par 64 to wrest a one-shot lead over Enrico Gallardo in the rain-hit ICTSI Forest Hills Classic at the Nicklaus course here yesterday.

Jahns navigated the challenging conditions with ease, firing eight birdies against a lone bogey to secure the top spot after the opening round of the P2-million championship.

An hour-long rain delay did little to slow Jahns’ momentum. After a fiery start through the first 12 holes, he birdied the par-5 16th and finished his round with six straight pars.

“I managed the course very well,” Jahns said. His long-range putting, which saw him sink birdies from 15, 20 and 25 feet, was a particular highlight.

Gallardo came out swinging with a 65, lighting up the course with four consecutive birdies starting at No. 8.

Club pro Rolando Garalde had a 67 for solo third while Aidric Chan carded a 68, highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 sixth, for solo fourth.
