Chan tops Q-School

DAVAO, Philippines — Amateur standout Aidrid Chan marked his transition to the professional ranks with a remarkable victory in the Philippine Golf Tour Q-School, overhauling a four-stroke deficit with a 68 and securing the low medal honors by three at the South Pacific Golf and Leisure Estates here yesterday.

Kuresh Samanodi, the two-day leader, had six late bogeys for a 75, enabling Chan to wrest the lead and the win.

Chan had a four-day total of 284, clinching the top spot and leading 29 others, who earned their spots in this year’s PGT.

The 10-leg circuit kicks off with a two-leg Davao swing on March 12 for the ICTSI Apo Golf Classic, followed by the Palos Verdes Championship on March 19-22, alongside the 54-hole Ladies PGT.
