    Corpus got solid support from Jeff Jung's 34, Gabriel Manotoc's 27 and Kristoffer Arevalo's 26 as Southwoods pooled a 72-hole total of 541 even if Aidric Chan missed the final day as he had to go back to the US to fulfill his school requirements.

    “I don’t look at other teams. I just want to make sure that when we come to a tournament, we are 100 percent ready to play” said Southwoods team captain Thirdy Escaño.

    Forest Hills finished with 473 points after a final-day 116 as Rodel Mangulabnan scored 30, Edison Tabalin and Iñigo Raymundo a pair of 29s and Joshua Buenaventura 28.
