Home sweet home.

- KRISTEL SATUMBAGA-VILLAR

Fittingly delivering the performance of his life right on the same course where he grew up molding his game, Miguel Tabuena showed incredible poise in topping the International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus on a damp Sunday, Oct. 26, before a bedazzled crowd at the Sta. Elena Golf Club in Laguna.

Sharing the lead with Thailand's Sarit Suwannarut and China's Sampson Zheng entering the final round, Tabuena left his closest foes in the dust of a scintillating third straight 7-under-par 65 to capture his breakthrough crown in this four-day $2 million meet. His lone bogey came in the par-3 seventh.

He pocketed $360,000 (around P21.1 million) in his fourth win in the Asian Tour.
