By his calculations, Johnnel Ababa knew one thing. 'Despite trailing most of the way, I knew I had a chance,' he said on Saturday.

The extra birdie played a crucial role as it helped him survive a slip-up on 17 on the way to a one-stroke victory over erstwhile coleaders Guido Van der Valk and Joenard Rates at the challenging military layout.
