He began to stamp his mark with a clutch of birdies starting from the 11th to 13th before that magical ace on the 16th eventually helped to seal his maiden victory in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hole-in-one made me more nervous,\u201d confessed the 25-year-old who pocketed the winner\u2019s prize cheque of US$10,500.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not know where I was in the standings at that time so I told myself to just play game and get more birdies if possible,\u201d added Quek.<\/p>\n<p>Quek would have stretched his advantage to three had he not missed a five-footer for birdie on the closing 18th hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last two holes were not easy ones.\u00a0 I tried my best to get a birdie to end the round but it lipped out,\u201d said Quek, who had to seek treatment for a wrist injury sustained since July 2010 by using all sorts of treatment from ranging from physiotherapy, Chinese medicine to acupuncture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was discomfort playing with that kind condition and that&#8217;s why I tried every treatment there was.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice to finally earn my breakthrough as a pro,\u201d added the Singaporean.<\/p>\n<p>Lascuna, who held the third round lead by one, simply could not finish the job.\u00a0 He only had a lone birdie on the first hole to show for and his title challenge faded when he carded a bogey on the 14th hole which was a result of two short chip-ins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I putted well in the first nine, I would have been comfortable in the last half.\u00a0 But breaks did not go my way,\u201d said Lascuna.<\/p>\n<p>Lam, whose 63 on Friday had pushed him into contention for the title, followed up with a 68 for a share of second place.\u00a0 He tried to chase the pack but the pressure got to him and his hopes were dashed after his bogey on the 16th.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess the pressure was there also.\u00a0 I wanted to give myself a title chance,\u201d said Lam.<\/p>\n<p>The ICTSI Orchard Golf Championship is the eighth leg of the ADT this season.
