As icing on the Philippine cake, Pagdanganan came charging home with a similar six-under 66 to snatch the individual bronze medal with a combined 72-hole score of 279.

With the sterling final-round performances of Saso and Pagdanganan, along with the 17th-ranked Go, the squad rallied to lift the team championship trophy with a four-round output of 554.
