Fresh off a six-shot win at John Hay, Padilla closed out with a two-under 70 for a 212 total and a dominant 16-stroke victory.

Suzuki finished second at 228 after a 75, while Jose Jacobo Gomez carded a 75 to snare third place at 234.

In the girls’ category, Sarines won by 18 strokes over twin sister Mona Sarines. Lisa closed with a 69 for a two-under 214 total, reversing her 11-stroke loss to Mona at John Hay.

Mona had four early birdies.
