Juvic Pagunsan wraps up Olympic campaign, fires 70 in fourth round

Juvic Pagunsan has formally put an end to his campaign at the Tokyo Olympics gold.

The Filipino golfer wrapped his journey after firing 70, or 1-under par, in the fourth and final round of the men's golf tournament Sunday morning at the Kasumigaseki Country Club.

The 43-year-old athlete finished the tourney with 1-over par after tallying 285 through all four rounds to wound up in 55th spot as of writing.

Pagunsan saw some improvements compared to his last two outings.

After a 66 in the first round, where he ranked fifth, Pagunsan was 2-over par in the second round followed by a 5-over par in the third round on Saturday.

Today, Pagunsan hit 13 pars while he birdied the third, fifth, and sixth holes. He, however, bogeyed his way to the fifth and 18th hole.

With Pagunsan out, two Filipino golfers will try to vie for an Olympic medal when Yuka Saso and Bianca Pagdanganan plunge into actions on August 4.
