“I’m so glad my chip went in on the last hole,” added the 10-year-old Suzuki, who expressed gratitude to his family and coach for their guidance in his golfing journey.In the girls’ side of the youngest category of the three-division series sponsored by ICTSI, Georgina Handog made an impressive JPGT debut with a commanding four-stroke triumph over first-leg winner Maurysse Abalos despite a closing 81.
This sets the stage for another dominant title run by Lee, who previously claimed a 13-stroke victory over Duque at Splendido Taal. Suzuki’s round of 78 allowed Padilla to pull even at 148 while Mark Kobayashi, previously in second place, stood two strokes behind with a 150 after a 74.After trailing Suzuki by a significant margin, Padilla went straight to the range late Tuesday to work on his shots. It paid off. “I was able to stay more consistent and improve my second shots,” he said.
