Aldrien Gialon overcame a disastrous quadruple bogey on the par-5 No. 3 with a determined series of pars and birdies, securing a commanding lead and ultimately clinching the boys’ 16-18 category title by 10 with a 76 in the ICTSI JPGT Mindanao Series I at Apo Golf and Country Club Friday, July 26.
DAVAO –
Despite the pressure, Adrian Bisera and Rainier Tagwalan failed to match Gialon’s fiery finish, settling for the runner-up and third place finishes after 81 and 85, respectively, in the premier division of the four-age category series organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. Kenly Wacan placed fourth with a 331 after an 84 while Gian Bullecer carded an 81 to finish fifth with 332.
“As the competition tightened, I became more focused,” said Gialon, who had driven out of bounds, landed in bunkers twice and three-putted on the third hole. Tagwalan attempted to close the gap, closing to within three strokes after Gialon's miscue. However, the first day leader’s early struggles, including a triple-bogey on No. 1, led to a frontside 41.
