Davao City – Justin Quiban pounced on Marvin Dumandan’s costly birdie miss from close range on the 72nd hole, then

endured an extra four-hole battle of power and wits to capture the ICTSI South Pacific Classic crown here on Friday.

“My strategy in the playoff was to play it as I did the whole week, lay-up with the 4-iron and try to get it as close as I can and try to make a birdie,” said Quiban, who closed out with a 69 and tied Dumandan, who carded a 70, at 279. “But after we didn’t make birdies, I decided to use my driver because it’s been my eighth-week straight and I wanted this to end. No guts, no glory.”

It was a sorry setback for Dumandan, who stuffed a brilliant approach shot to within 5 feet on the par-5 18th to re-ignite his bid to end a 14-year title spell as joint frontrunner Quiban, who tied him at nine-under overall heading to the 72nd hole, missed his uphill birdie-putt from six feet. A product of this year’s PGT Q-School, Nagai, a former national junior champion, wound up with a three-putt bogey for a 69 and missed joining Dumandan and Quiban in the playoff with a 280 total for solo third worth P136,000, his best in three PGT stints. He posted a joint 25th finish at Luisita and tied for 18th at Valley.
