Filipino golfer Juvic Pagunsan secured his ticket to the 2021 British Open after ruling the 2021 Mizuno Open on Sunday at the Setonaikai Golf Club in Okayama, Japan.
It was the first Japan Golf Tour title for the 43-year-old Pagunsan, who pocketed the top prize worth over P5.2-M.
Pagunsan kept a three-stroke lead all the way to the end, closing his campaign with a 68 to finish with a 17-under total of 199.
He was tied for third after the first round but shot 65 in the second round to seize the lead, and never relinquished it. Birdies in the 15th and 16th holes secured Pagunsan's victory.
