Pagunsan claims Philippine Golf Tour Merit crown
MANILA,Philippines — Juvic Pagunsan marked his return to the Philippine Golf Tour in grand fashion, posting a couple of records to claim the Order of Merit crown at the close of the milestone 10th season of the country’s premier circuit recently.
The smooth-swinging Pagunsan vied in just five of nine tournaments and won four in consecutive fashions – both tour records – as Asia’s former No. 1 amassed earnings of P2,070,000 to edge multi-titled Tony Lascuña by mere P78,070 after the latter, a four-time OOM titlist, finished with P1,991,930.
Pagunsan, who also captured the OOM crown with a dominant performance in 2011 before making Japan his base, was actually on a break from the region’s most lucrative circuit when he signed up for the second leg of this year’s circuit in Bacolod.
He came out of the P2.5 million event a winner by seven over Rufino Bayron.
