The International Series Philippines: Local hero Miguel Tabuena delighted home fans and withstood a barrage of birdies from his nearest rivals, as a solid seven-under par 65 proved good enough for a dominating three-shot win in the USD 2 million International Series Philippines.

Playing at his home course, the Sta. Elena Golf Club, just a week after he had to pull out of the SJM Macao Open with neck spasms, Tabuena finished on a 24-under total, while the Japanese duo of Kazuki Higa (65) and Yosuke Asaji (67) were tied second at 21-under.

The win, Tabuena’s fourth, makes him the most successful Filipino golfer on the Asian Tour. The previous record of three titles was held by Angelo Que. He also broke through the US$3 million in career earnings on the Tour with his first International Series title.
