Tabuena Wins International Series Philippines

Miguel Tabuena won the International Series Philippines at his home Sta. Elena Golf Club, claiming the inaugural International Series event staged in the Philippines with a 24-under 264 total. He closed with a third straight 65 — a run that included a hole-in-one and eagles — and produced one of his finest displays to electrify the home crowd. Tabuena had been in a three-way tie after 54 holes with Sampson Zheng and Thailand’s Sarit Suwannarut and reached the final group after sinking a 10-foot par putt at the end of the third round. His victory prompted an emotional celebration on the 18th green and is being hailed as the biggest win of his career. The elevated $2 million Asian Tour event featured international stars such as Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed, but the homegrown favorite seized the moment and made history.
