CHICKENPIE.Round 2 of the 2026 DigiPlus Philippine ADT Open is in the books. Franco Scorzato (ARG) fired a 66 to reach 134 (-10) and grabbed a one-shot lead at Luisita Golf and Country Club. Su Ching-hung (TPE) and Naoki Sekito (JPN) sit a shot back at -9 after a pair of 70s. Kelvin Si (MAC) is alone at -8. Darcy Brereton, Brent Ito, and Suttinon Panyo share fifth at -7.
The cut line landed at 144 (par, T51) — 54 players survived, 16 Filipino pros included 13 making the weekend. James Ryan Lam followed his opening 68 with a 74 on Friday to finish T32 at 142 (-2). Eight shots off the lead, still seven shots clear of the cut. He walks into Saturday's moving day with work to do, but with the Philippine Open exemption still very much in play.
The Filipino chase pack sits four-deep behind the leaders. Sean Ramos is the highest Pinoy at T12 (-5), three ahead of Angelo Que and Rupert Zaragosa at T17 (-4). Fidel Concepcion and Russel Bautista are T25 (-3). Randy Garalde and Art Arbole join JRL in the T32 group at -2. Reymon Jaraula and Clyde Mondilla are T42 at -1. Jeffren Lumbo scraped in at T51 (par) with a 76 that did just enough. Angelo Que, the senior statesman of the bunch at WR #1463, holds steady at -4 — quietly building a Saturday charge.
Sixteen Filipino pros missed the cut. Kristoffer Arevalo, Zanie Boy Gialon, and Rico Depilo were the closest casualties at T55 (+1). Gabriel Manotoc, Michael Bibat, Dino Villanueva, and Jed Dy (am) finished T78 at +6. Ryan Monsalve went out at T85. The chasing exemption for the Philippine Open on The International Series — that's the prize that hangs over the weekend. Only the top two Filipino finishers punch that ticket. Ramos, Que, Concepcion, JRL, and the rest of the cut survivors have 36 holes to settle it. Round 3 starts at 6:30 AM PHT Saturday.
