Ocampo joint 5th in Taiwan

MANILA, Philippines - Carl Santos-Ocampo turned in his best finish on the Asian Development Tour, closing out with a four-under 68 and tying for fifth with three others in the Ballantine’s Taiwan Championship won by Lin Wen-tang at the Ta Kang Shan Golf Course in Kaohsiung, Taiwan yesterday.

The Fil-Am shotmaker, a two-time winner on the ICTSI Philippine Golf Tour, could’ve finished a rung higher but bogeyed the par-4 18th and settled for a 35-33 spiked by four birdies in a nine-hole stretch from No. 9.

With a 275 aggregate, he tied American Brett Munson (68), Ireland’s Niall Turner (69) and Englishman Grant Jackson (70) and pocketed $3,795 (P163,000).
