PBA: Jonas Villanueva cops third straight obstacle course title

B-MEG Llamado guard Jonas Villanueva continued to raise his team's winning form, copping the obstacle course title for the third straight year, Friday at the PBA All-Star Weekend in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte. In the elimination round, Rain or Shine Elasto Painters rookie Paul Lee posted the fastest time of 27.2 seconds, with Villanueva (29.1 seconds) and Alaska Ace L.A. Tenorio (30.0 seconds) right behind him. The finals saw Tenorio start first, but "The Lieutenant" flubbed the bounce pass portion of the event, going through all five balls to finish with a time of 43 seconds. Villanueva followed him, and clocked in at a silky smooth 31.1 seconds. Lee went last and had an opportunity to upset the back-to-back titlist, but he missed two triples, causing him to come in milliseconds behind, at 31.3 seconds. - Adrian Dy/ELR, GMA News
