Corpus, Katsuragawa rule NGAP doubles

Carl Corpus and Yuto Katsuragawa kept the momentum of their solid play in aggregate format and shot a four-under 64 in foursome on Friday to cruise to a six-stroke victory over Ryan Monsalve and Lanz Uy in the sixth NGAP National Doubles Amateur Golf Championship at Camp Aguinaldo Golf Club in QC.

Katsuragawa, who keyed the team’s surge with a 65 Thursday, and Corpus combined for five birdies against a lone bogey, virtually settling the outcome with a 33 at the front before matching Monsalve and Uy’s closing 31 for that 64 to run away with the Group I crown with a 54-hole total of 265.
