ROSA, Laguna, Philippines — Short in experience but long in talent, young Korean Kim Joo Hyung built enough cushion to survive another test of nerves at The Country Club’s tough finishing holes, firing the tournament-best one-under 71 to catch Clyde Mondilla at the helm midway through the TCC Invitational yesterday. Juvic Pagunsan, also seeking a record fourth TCC title like the long-hitting Que, went one-under after a birdie on No. But he bogeyed the 16th and barely saved a 71, which still bested Balasabas’ 72 that stood as the best in the first round. It was windy and very hot out there,” said Kim, seeking to keep the crown won by compatriot Micah Shin in record fashion last year. A bogey on the ninth broke that stirring birdie-binge but the former amateur star birdied the par-3 12th before settling for pars for a 31-35 card.
