/ 01:39 AM August 16, 2015

DAVAO—Brian Kim finished  with his worst score of 5-over-par 77, but it hardly mattered as no one from the championship division came close to challenging him for the title in the Sta. Lucia Amateur Series’ elimination stage at the Rancho Palos Verdes Golf and Country Club.

The 27-year-old bet from Eagle Ridge closed out with a 54-hole total of 221, six strokes up on his closest rival, and qualified for the Tournament of Champions, the final event at the Beverly Place Golf Club set Aug. 27 to 29.

Jelbert Gamolo finished runner up with a 227 after a 76.
