Jahns blasts foe; Singson honors late grandpa

Event Overview

At The Country Club (TCC) in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, on Friday, two promising golfers claimed victories in the ICTSI Match Play Invitational, etching their names into Philippine golf history. Keanu Jahns dominated Guido van der Valk with a 3&2 win in the men's final, while Mafy Singson crushed Martina Miñoza 6&5 in the women's title match.

Keanu Jahns' Victory

Jahns overcame an early bogey on the first hole, birdieing the second from 12 feet to tie and seizing the lead by the sixth. His strong drives and sharp putting powered two early back-nine wins, building a decisive three-up edge on TCC's tough layout. "Everything came together for me today. My putting improved, my drives were excellent," he said, pocketing P280,000 and capping a season with three triumphs.

Mafy Singson’s Triumph

Singson opened with a birdie, surging to a 5-up lead at the turn and never looking back, her putts dropping consistently. The P280,000 win, 40 days after her grandfather's death, felt blessed: "As soon as I secured the win, it started to rain. I believe it was him... showering me with blessings." This followed her Eagle Ridge playoff success, conquering a course that once stumped her.
