Juvic wins by 7

MURCIA, Negros Occidental – Juvic Pagunsan picked up an easy win here yesterday ahead of Father’s Day as he outclassed a crack international field with his superb form for a whopping seven-stroke romp over Rufino Bayron in the ₱2.5 million ICTSI Bacolod Golf Challenge.

Four shots ahead of Bayron and Marcos Pastor at the start of the final round, Pagunsan actually staggered with a one-over card after six holes, enabling the Spanish ace to pull within one with birdies on Nos. 2 and 5 and a slew of the others to close in with their own fine starts.

But Pagunsan rattled off three straight birdies from No. 7 to go three-up again on Pastor before putting the outcome beyond doubt with a birdie on the 12th and another three-birdie binge from No. 14.
