Korean golfer Minhyuk Song posted a 10-under-par 60 to take the halfway lead at the Philippine Open on November 13, 2026. His total of 130 at Manila Southwoods in Carmona, Cavite, left him four strokes clear of Thailand’s Sarit Suwannarut.

Song’s round included an eagle from a pitch at the par-4 16th and an ace at the 184-yard 17th. He also birdied the 14th, 15th and 18th, finishing the back nine in 28. Preferred lies were still being used following overnight rain, so the score could not qualify for record recognition.

Sarit returned a 63, with five successive birdies beginning at the fifth, to reach 134. Another Thai player, Sadom Kaewkanjana, stood third on 135 after a 67.

Lloyd Go’s two-under 68 brought his aggregate to 138 and lifted him into a tie for 15th, eight strokes behind Song. He took 27 putts during the round and ended a sequence of five pars with a birdie at the 17th.

Justin Quiban qualified in joint 18th on 139 after shooting 70. A double bogey at the 10th and a bogey at the 12th threatened his round before birdies at the 14th and 18th helped him recover.

Sean Ramos improved on his opening 74 with a 67, joining Carl Corpus on 141 in a tie for 37th. Corpus carded 71. Tony Lascuña, Jeffren Lumbo, Kristoffer Arevalo and Reymon Jaraula also advanced, each finishing on 144.

Angelo Que and Fidel Conception both recorded second-round 70s but missed the cut by one stroke with totals of 145.
