LAGUNA, Philippines – Guido van der Valk shouldered himself past a competitive field with a composed and calculated performance, firing the day's best two-under-par 70, highlighted by an eagle and a monster birdie putt, as he wrested a two-stroke lead in the third round of The Country Club Invitational on Thursday here.
Starting the day four strokes off the pace at sixth spot, van der Valk vaulted to the top at one-over 217 after first day co-leader LJ Go faltered with two bogeys in the final seven holes, settling for a 74 and a 219.
