PASIG CITY, Philippines – The Philippines breached the 100-gold medal mark Sunday, December 8, 2019, and Cebuano athletes and coaches accounted for two gold medals, four silver and two bronze medals in the 30th Southeast Asian Games. 

Bagging the first gold on Sunday was Cebuana golfer Lois Kaye “LK” Go, who dominated the women’s team match play with partner Bianca Isabel Pagdanganan at the Luisita Golf and Country Club in Tarlac City. 

Go, a product of the jungolf program of the Cebu Country Club, redeemed herself after finishing in fourth place in the individual event held earlier.
