Second seed Ira Alido kept the momentum of a solid start and went on to clobber top ranked Tom Kim of Korea and fashion out a 9&7 romp for the boys’ crown in the 2016 Philippine Junior Amateur Match Play Golf Championship at the Alabang Country Club in Muntinlupa on Saturday.

The 15-year-old Alido also rode the crest of his 5&4 victory over Aniceto Mandanas in the semifinals Friday as he came out strong and went 4-up in their morning duel then completely outplayed Kim with a more impressive stint in the afternoon to complete the rout in their 36-hole finale.
