Grace Pauline Quintanilla squandered a six-shot overnight lead in regulation but recovered in dramatic fashion, outlasting Hong Kong-China’s Xizihan Wang in five playoff holes to capture the women’s individual title in the prestigious 78th Singapore Amateur Open at the Bukit Course on Friday.

The 19-year-old Filipino birdied the par-5 18th on their sixth trip to the hole, capitalizing from a difficult lie in the rough before draining a 15-foot birdie putt to finally secure the victory. Quintanilla closed regulation with a two-over-par 73, allowing Wang, who fired a tournament-best-tying 67, to force a playoff at 281.

Wang’s final-round 67 matched Quintanilla’s opening-round score for the lowest round of the tournament and gave the Hong Kong-China campaigner the momentum entering sudden death. But Quintanilla remained patient before seizing her opportunity.

“She overshot her approach on the fifth playoff hole,” Quintanilla said. “I knew then that I had to get my approach close, even though I was coming from the rough.”

Quintanilla is expected to return to action on Philippine soil later this month in one of the National Golf Association of the Philippines’ premier events—the Philippine Stroke Play Championship at Pradera Verde or the Match Play Championship at the historic Luisita Golf and Country Club.

One of those events,” she said when asked about her next tournament. “And then it will be back to the US for school.”

Meanwhile, Rolando Bregente and Jet Hernandez settled for a share of fourth place in the men’s division after closing with identical 69s for 272 totals, five shots behind Australian champion Jonty Lunzon.

Lunzon carded a final-round 67 to finish at 267, edging fellow Australian Harrison Gomez by one stroke. Gomez, who started the day tied for seventh, charged home with six birdies on the back nine to complete a flawless 64 and finish at 268.

Bregente, who grabbed the first-round lead with a brilliant 64 on Tuesday, and Hernandez finished one shot shy of the podium after Hong Kong-China’s Markus Zachary Lam closed with a 70 to claim third place at 271.

Hernandez, a University of Denver standout, played his final three rounds in nine-under-par but saw his title bid unravel with a costly double bogey followed by a bogey beginning at the par-4 11th.

Bregente also stumbled late, dropping shots on Nos. 15 and 17 after playing bogey-free through his opening 14 holes of the final round.
