The multi-titled Philippine Golf Tour campaigner and former Philippine Open champion totaled a 13-under 203 in three days, spiked by a flawless opening round of 65, as he joined three others at 11th, 11 strokes off Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho, who moved 18 holes away from bagging the gold with a 192 total.
Yubol, the halfway leader, also hit an eagle on the par-5 17th and shot three birdies but fumbled with two bogeys as she turned in a 69 for a 201 while Chinese Xiyu Lin fired a 68 for third at 202. The Philippines, which swept the individual and team golds in the last Asiad in Jakarta in 2018, also bowed out in team play after Lois Kaye Go missed the halfway cut.
But three players stood at 197, including Korean world No. 27 Sungjae Im, who flourished with a 66, and Thai Atiruj Winaicharoenchai and Chinese Guxin Chen, who matched 67s, ensuring a spirited battle not only for the bronze but for silver as well.
