Gialon gets last laugh in Iloilo
ILOILO, Philippines — Zanieboy Gialon cruised to a six-stroke victory over Angelo Que and Ira Alido with a clinical two-under 68 in the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge at the Iloilo Golf and Country Club here Friday.
Holding a narrow two-shot lead over Jhonnel Ababa after 54 holes, Gialon seized his opportunity as the former faltered with a costly double bogey on the opening hole.
With his closest rivals unable to mount any serious threat, Gialon simply held his ground in the P2.5 million championship presented by MORE Power and Electric Corp.
He clinched his first win in two years with a 13-under 267 total and took home the P450,000 top prize.
Fidel Concepcion, Tony Lascuña and Angelo Que found themselves scrambling for a runner-up finish instead of contending for the title.
Que’s fiery 66 earned him a joint runner-up finish at 273 alongside Alido, who carded a 68. Both received P232,500.
