BAGUIO, Philippines – Jose Luis Espinosa and Brianna Macasaet turned the final round of their 36-hole competition into a triumphant march, capitalizing on the cool breeze to cruise to victories in the 8-10 category of the Junior Philippine Golf Tour Luzon Series 3 on Tuesday.
Both led by wide margins after the first round and faced little pressure in the final 18 holes although the duo continued to deliver their best performances, maintaining their form in preparation for future campaigns.'I think I played my best,' said the 10-year-old Espinosa , who closed with an 87, finishing 23 strokes ahead with a 175 total, far surpassing Zoji Edoc, who assembled a 198 after 100.
Reflecting on his round, Padilla acknowledged the need to improve shot placement and expressed frustration with his quadruple bogey on the par-5 No. 7.'I need to place my shots a little better in the next two days. It got a bit windy towards the end, but my errors were the bigger issue,' said Padilla, referring on his 9 on the seventh hole, where he dumped his second shot into the left-side bunker and misfired, sending the ball out of bounds.
