Philip Cezar outclassed a poor-shooting Ramon Fernandez, 15-8, in the opener of their one-on-one championship series sponsored by Sprite.

Cezar, the second seed, raced to a 10-2 lead as Fernandez repeatedly missed on undergoal stabs.

Although the top-seeded Fernandez was able to narrow the gap at 6-10, another miss virtually killed all his chances as Cezar knocked in three points for a 13-6 lead, 27 seconds to go.

Fernandez tried for three-point plays with attempts from outside but missed all of them.

The second game will be held on Oct. 2 and the third, if necessary, will be on Oct. 11.

The winner of the match gets P25,000 while the loser will receive P15,000.
