PAMPANGA, Philippines – Jiwon Lee and Shinichi Suzuki turned the final round of the 15-18 division of the Junior Philippine Golf Tour Luzon Series 2 into commanding victories as they posted similar 73s at the Pradera Verde Golf and Country Club on Friday.
Lee, who all but secured her second consecutive JPGT crown by amassing a 17-stroke lead over Reese Ng in the third round, finished with a 37-36 card, mixing three birdies with four bogeys. Her four-day total of three-under 285 bested Ng by 20 shots, setting a new record early in the series.
Ng closed with a 76 for a 305 aggregate while Lia Duque placed third with a 310, matching Lee's over-over par score on both the first and third nines of the Pradera Verde golf complex.
