Thai tops Q-School; 19 Pinoys earn PGTA cards
TARLAC, Philippines – Thai Pasavee Lertvilai capped a four-day run of under-par scores with a second straight 69 and topped the PGT Asia Tour Qualifying School by five over American Seungjae Maeng at the Luisita Golf and Country Club course here yesterday.
Lertvilai, who cashed in on John Michael O’Toole’s shaky windup to move up by two in the third round, held sway despite an even-par card after 12 holes then birdied four against a bogey in the last six to finish with a 36-33 and a 13-under 275 aggregate, clinching the low medal honors in the 72-hole elims for the newest regional circuit put up by ICTSI and organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc.
Maeng, who co-led with Swede Fredrik From in the first round, bounced back from a third round 74 with a 69 to take runner-up honors at 280 while Jobim Carlos rallied with a bogey-free 67 to tie three others at third at 282 and emerge the top Filipino finisher in the event which staked 60 slots plus ties for the PGTA kicking off with the Aboitiz Invitational Tuesday at Southwoods.
Other six-under overall scorers were American John Michael O’Toole (74), Korean-American Micah Shin (68) and Indonesian Joshua Wirawan (69).
Elki Kow, also from Indonesia, shot a 67 and shared seventh place with another local bet Rey Pagunsan, who carded a 69, at 283, while Anthony Fernando, among the 19 Filipinos who qualified, finished tied for ninth at 284 with Aussie David Gleeson (70) and Swede Andreas Gronkvist (68) despite a 74.
