Dumdumaya leads by 1

Filipino-American Jaden Dumdumaya opened a one-shot lead over Carl Corpus and Enrique Dimayuga at the start of the 2023 National Stroke Play Championship at the Langer course of the Riviera Golf and Country Club in Silang, Cavite Tuesday.
The 16-year-old prodigy, who dominated the Junior Tour of North Carolina the past two seasons, hacked out an even-par 71 in stormy conditions.
"Jaden hits the ball like a pro. Ibang level," said Dan Cruz who is hosting the Dumdumayas at his home.
"He has exceptional ball-striking skills. He shapes his shots very well."
Heavy rains and strong winds sent scores soaring but Dumdumaya stayed calm, missing only three greens, all of which he saved par.
He made three birdies inside five feet but had three bogeys on three-putts.
Dumdumaya, a junior at De La Salle High School in California, had nothing but praise for his caddie.
