Pagunsan nails 4th straight tour title

SILANG, Cavite—Juvic Pagunsan turned the final round of the ICTSI Riviera Classic into a victory walk, closing out with a 70 for a whopping eight-shot victory over Tony Lascuña and a record fourth straight championship on the Philippine Golf Tour here yesterday.

By posting a big six-stroke lead on a late charge in wet conditions Friday, Pagunsan just went through the motions in the last 18 holes.

He pumped his fist after nines of 36-34 for a seven-under 277 total and the top P450,000 purse.

“I’m very happy to win four straight [on the PGT]. It seems that as I grow older, I am able to achieve more goals,” said Pagunsan.
