Po stuns Zaragosa, seals title duel vs Magcalayo

Reed-thin Peter Tyler Po knocked off top seed Rupert Zaragosa with a near-impeccable game then bundled out last year’s champion Noel Langamin to crash into the finals against No. 2 Jolo Magcalayo in the Philippine Amateur Open Match Play Golf Championship at the Orchard Golf and Country Club’s Player course in Dasmariñas, Cavite on Thursday.

While top seed Yuka Saso and No. 2 Harmie Constantino scored a pair of expected romps to arrange a showdown for the women’s crown, the ninth-ranked Po came away with unexpected victories to gain a rare crack at the men’s crown in the country’s premier match play event sponsored by the MVP Sports Foundation.
