Corpuz shot a 71 and nipped Luis Castro, who closed out with a 68, by a shot in the event sponsored by the MVP Sports Foundation and organized by the National Golf Association of the Philippines.

Meanwhile, Constantino, the former national champion, carded a 70 for 215 and a seven-shot victory over South Korea’s Shin Seo-yun, who ballooned to a 77.
