Enzo Cham pulled off a thrilling finish, edging Seth Koa by just one stroke to capture the premier boys’ 15–18 title, while Nicole Gaisano Gan completed Metro Manila’s strong run with a win in the girls’ side as the JGFP Mindanao Open wrapped up Tuesday at Apo Golf and Country Club in Davao City.
Cham matched Koa’s closing five-over-par 77 and finished with an eight-over 152 to seal the victory. AJ Wacan settled for third at 158 after carding an 81.
On the girls’ side, Gan held her nerve to win by three strokes over Singapore-based Regina Chiu. Both golfers closed with identical 78s, but Gan’s steady play over three days earned her the title with a 149 total.
Meanwhile, Apollo Batican of Cagayan de Oro and Johanna Blair Uyking topped the boys’ and girls’ divisions in the 13–14 age group.
The other champions were Kaeden Zach Samarro and Eliana Mendoza (9–10), Laurence Saban and Athena Batican (11–12), Lucas Revilleza and Stephanie Gaisano Gan (7–8), and Jakob Enrique Morente and Jin Alexandra Ng Ho in the 6-under category.
