set went to Ilagan 4-2. In the final set Ilagan went 3-0 with
15-darts, 13-darts and 14-darts outs before Gionzon composed
himself and evened the set at 3-3. With the clear winner of
two legs rule in the deciding set and a sudden death playoff
in case of 4-4 for best of seven legs in effect, Ilagan opened
the seventh leg with a ton 80 and went on to win. Gionzon
evened the match with a 12-darts out. At this time it was
anybody’s game. Gionzon started the final deciding leg
with 60-100-60-97-100 while Ilagan came with scores of 97-180-100-98
and finished the leg in 14 darts.
In the final round robin of the remaining eight players,
Gionzon swept the round robin 7-0, Warren Perolino of Cavite
came in second 6-1 and a triple tie for 3rd place between
Ilagan, Boie Parfan of Robson and Arby Briones of Baguio City
with identical 4-3 scores King Gumanid of Davao City 2-5;
Arnel Elvena, Koronadal 1-6 and Mon Oliveros, Makati 0-7.
In the single game playoffs Ilagan won over Briones and Parfan.
And for the final standing of 4th place Boie Parfan bested
Arby Briones.
In the best of three sets best of 5 legs step ladder Ilagan
overwhelmed Warren Perolino of Cavite 3-1 and 3-0.
Final note on the Philippine Qualifier
Lourence Ilagan could have earned an additional P10,000 with
a perfect 9-darts out but missed the winning D12. He scored
180-180 and the last three with T20-T19 and missed the D12.
