LAUREL, Batangas, Philippines — Korean Jaehyun Jung overcame a shaky start to capture the Philippine Golf Tour Qualifying School low medal honors despite a 74, edging Carl Corpus by a single stroke in a dramatic final round at Splendido Taal Golf Club here on Friday.
Jung, who opened with back-to-back bogeys, steadied himself with a run of pars and two crucial birdies on the back nine.
Meanwhile, Corpus mounted an early charge, stringing three birdies over four holes to erase a five-shot deficit and force a tie at three-under. However, a bogey on the seventh and a costly double bogey on the ninth halted his momentum.
Jung had 285 total against Corpus’ 286 to claim top honors in his first PGT Q-School appearance.
Corpus closed out with a 70.
Japan’s Yuto Hayaski (73) and Atsushi Ueda (72) finished third and fourth with 292 and 293, respectively.
