PETALING JAYA: Overnight leader Arie Irawan flew the flag high for Malaysia after clinching his second Asian Development Tour (ADT) title and his first outside Malaysia at the US$60,000 (RM222,000) ICTSI Eagle Ridge Invitational in Manila.

The 24-year-old Malaysian, who claimed his breakthrough ADT victory on home soil earlier in January, battled to an even-par 71 after trading two birdies against two bogeys at the Aoki course of the Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club on Saturday.
