He was the first Filipino to qualify for the Masters Tournament and The Open Championship.[3] He won nine tournaments on the Asia Golf Circuit, including the Philippine Open three times, and headed the points list in 1970.[4] He also won four times on the Japan Golf Tour and played in the World Cup 16 times,[5] recording a best finish of 2nd place in 1977 with playing partner Rudy Lavares.
