Complete rankings below.


Top five winners received cash prizes, while Ben Penaranda also received a cash prize for being the top scorer in the 1800-under rating category.

Points of interest:

  • Pucholo Yape has swept all 1900-below rating category awards in the past 2 or 3 events. In this tournament, he raises the bar higher by tying for second.
  • Deja vu for new FCPL player Edwin Caliyon who finished at sixth place for the second time in a row.
  • FCPL welcomes four new Pinoy colleagues: Romeo Estoperez, Leo Balagapo, Lito Macaso and Archie Rafols.
