/ 03:54 AM July 04, 2015

RUPERT Zaragosa closed out with a 1-over-par 73 and held off the hard-charging pair of Jelbert Gamolo and Park Min-ung by one shot yesterday for the Sta. Lucia Amateur Open third leg championship at Orchard’s Palmer course in Cavite.

After zooming to the lead with a 70 on Thursday, Zaragosa encountered some rough moments in the final round before keeping Gamolo and his former nemesis Park at bay with a 219 aggregate.

Zaragosa had to battle back from as far as three shots back after the first nine holes with birdies on the 10th and 11th holes.
