Zanieboy Gialon turned what was expected to be a tightly-contested final round at the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge into a display of dominance, cruising to a six-stroke victory over Angelo Que and Ira Alido with a clinical two-under 68 at the Iloilo Golf and Country Club here on Friday, Oct. 11.
ILOILO –
With his closest rivals unable to mount any serious threat, Gialon didn’t need to replicate the brilliance of his earlier rounds to stay ahead in the final stretch. His blistering 64-66 performance in the middle rounds had already positioned him atop the leaderboard of the P2.5 million championship presented by MORE Power and Electric Corp.
“It may have seemed like an easy win, but it was actually tough and very exciting. I saw Ira closing in when we reached No. 13, and that’s when I really pushed myself,” added Gialon. Gialon’s bogey on No. 15 barely made a dent in his lead. In fact, he quickly regained his four-stroke cushion over Alido, Concepcion, Tony Lascuña and Que, who found themselves scrambling for a runner-up finish instead of contending for the title.
But Que's fiery 66 earned him a joint runner-up finish at 273 alongside Alido, who carded a 68. Both received P232,500.
