                    [Title] => Miñoza wins title, P9-M top prize
                    [Summary] => Often drubbed for his tendency to collapse under tremendous pressure, Frankie Miñoza showed yesterday he had more than enough talent, skill and guts to do the unthinkable.


Miñoza pulled off perhaps his greatest triumph in the rich Japan PGA Tour as he fired a five-under-par 66 to overcome a seven-stroke deficit and win the $917,000 Fujisankei Classic by one stroke.

"I am very happy that I could make a come-from-behind victory, overcoming a seven-stroke deficit," said Miñoza, who won the top purse of $183,000 or a whopping P9,150,000.

After moving within two strokes off the lead in the second round of the $900,000 championship, Miñoza finished in 13th place, no thanks to an atrocious 75 in the third round that came after he shot himself into contention with rounds of 68 and 66.

Miñoza, who limped in 22nd place last week following a series of solid performances that put him among the top five players in the current Order of Merit derby, had a 36-hole aggregate of 134, counting his opening four-under 68 Thursday.
