KIM IN JAE turned back an early challenge by Rupert Zaragosa and coasted to a three-stroke victory despite a two-over 74 while Dottie Ardina stormed to an eight-shot romp in the ladies side with a 68 in the 13th Canlubang Amateur Open at the north course of the Canlubang Golf and Country Club in Laguna yesterday.

Kim saw his second round six-shot lead reduced to four after Zaragosa made a par-birdie start, but the Korean ace from Eagle Ridge settled down with and held sway the rest of the way despite a closing 38.

He wound up with a 214, beating Zaragosa, who shot a 71, by three in the 54-hole Championship Division of the tournament that served as part of the Globe Business Amateur Golf Circuit.
